Police are looking for multiple suspects involved in a shootout in front of the Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club in Columbia City.
The Seattle Police Department said it received reports of the shooting after 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Based on surveillance footage, seen here, investigators believe two suspects opened fire at a black SUV in the Boys and Girls Club parking lot before two people stepped out of the vehicle and fired back.
Police said nearby homes were damaged, and officers recovered 70 shell casings and live ammunition rounds.
One neighbor who wants to stay anonymous provided a video of the gunfire exchange just outside his home.
“There were 150 to 250 rounds going off and a magazine only holds so many, so that had to be quite a few guns and quite a few gunmen,” the concerned neighbor said.
Police said they didn’t find any victims, and local hospitals haven’t reported any patients coming in with gunshot wounds.
Anyone with more information should call the SPD violent crimes tip line (206) 233-5000.
