Officers responded to reports of a fight inside a bar in the 8600 block of 14th Avenue South. When they arrived, officers upgraded the call to a shooting after finding a man, appearing to be in his 30s, in the back parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds.

The Seattle Fire Department arrived and provided medical treatment and then transported him to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
