A man was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon while standing at a bus stop in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood.

Witnesses called 911 around 1 p.m. to report a man was shot at the bus stop in the 2900 block of Rainier Avenue South. They told arriving officers that two men approached the victim and opened fire, striking him several times.

Seattle police say officers began immediately performing first aid until medics arrived. The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he later died from injuries.

Seattle detectives are working to review surveillance video, collect video, and speak with witnesses.
