A 50-year-old man was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot
wound early Monday morning after a street fight in Seattle’s
Belltown neighborhood.
Seattle police said two men were in an argument before the
shooting at
2nd Ave. and Bell
St. At some point, the suspect took out a gun and shot
the victim, who ran down Bell St. and collapsed on the
corner of 1st Ave.
The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-
threatening injuries.
Police say they’ve talked with witnesses, but didn’t get a
very good description of the suspect.
Bell St. between 1st and 2nd Ave. was closed to traffic for
a couple of hours Monday, but opened around 6:00 a.m.
