The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is investigating a shooting at a North Seattle gas station.
Gunfire erupted around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday morning on the 10500 block of Aurora Avenue N. A delivery driver was hit by possible flying glass, but was not the target.
“Officers arrived and found a 44-year-old man with scratches to his head that may have been caused by glass fragments,” SPD wrote in its crime blotter. “Seattle Fire Department medics treated him at the scene, and he was released. No other victims were located.”
Police said a gold Chevy SUV was targeted and later found abandoned near N 105th Street and Fremont Avenue N.
“Police believe the SUV was targeted in the shooting and are treating it as a victim vehicle,” SPD added. “Officers also recovered shell casings across the street from the gas station.”
No suspects are in custody. Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD’s Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
