Police in Seattle are searching for a gunman after a shooting occurred just before 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Callers reported gunfire near the intersection of North 90th Street and Nesbit Avenue North. When officers arrived, they found a man and a woman with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
“The male had a shot to his foot, and the female had a shot to her right thigh. They (detectives) believe that the shots were actually possibly ricocheted off the ground,” Seattle Police Department (SPD) Detective Brian Prichard said.
However, Pritchard said the couple was not fully cooperative, and police have few details about what happened.
