Early on Sunday May 27 in South Seattle four drive-by
shootings were reported in a matter of hours. At least
three shootings may be gang related.
The first shooting took place around 1:00 a.m. According
to police reports, a black car that looked like an Acura
Integra passed a house in the 4600 block of South
Frontenac street and fired into the house and surrounding
cars.
Police found over 20 bullet casings on the street in front
of the house. Reports say the house has been shot at
several times before.
At 3:00 a.m. two more houses were hit, one on South
Columbian Drive and the other on South Holden Street. In
total, over thirty rounds were fired from several
different rifles and handguns.
The Seattle Police Department’s Gang Unit is investigating
all three of these shootings.
The last shooting, which occurred at about 3:1 0a.m., took
place in the 4200 block of South Henderson Street. A
female resident of the house was standing at her bedroom
window when six shots were fired in her direction.
The victim said that she did not know who the shooter was,
but from the position of shell casings police determined
the assailant must have gone south on Martin Luther King
Jr. Way.
No one was injured at any of the shootings.
