Seattle police believe they have linked 10 Seattle shootings to a 9mm Luger and are now looking for two potential gunmen.

A witness took photos of two men opening fire at Judkins Park on June 25, one of them fired several shots with a Luger pistol before running, according to Seattle police.

With the help of other agencies, detectives were able to tie the Luger to nine other shootings since 2013 and a shootout in 2014.

Detectives are looking for leads to track down the Luger and suspects.

Here are the incidents as described by Seattle police:

&#8226 October 28, 2013 – 9:55 PM: Police found five shell casings connected with the gun in the street at 43rd Avenue S. and S. Othello Street, but no victims or damage.

&#8226 December 22nd, 2013 – 10:04 PM: Officers found someone had fired nine rounds from the gun at 47th Ave S. and S. Juneau St. Again, no damage or victims.

&#8226 June 12, 2015 – 9:59 PM: the gun was used to fire at least one shot at a white vehicle as it sped away from a gas station parking lot at 23rd Ave and E. Union St. No injuries or damage were reported to police.

&#8226 June 24, 2014 – 6:13 PM: Witnesses reported someone opened fire from the passenger seat of a black Dodge sedan as it sped through the 9000 block of Rainier Ave S. Police found evidence two guns were fired near the scene, and bullets fired during the incident struck a 60-year-old man in the leg and shattered the windshield of a passing vehicle.

&#8226 June 25, 2015 – 9:10 PM: The gun was used in a shooting at Powell-Barnett Park. Officers were unable to find anyone with injuries at the scene, but a 31-year-old man later arrived at a Central District hospital with a gunshot wound. A motorist also contacted police and reported their car had been struck by gunfire as they drove past the park.

&#8226 June 25, 2015 – 9:50 PM: Two men (pictured above) opened fire at Judkins Park. No one was injured in the shooting, but a motorist passing by the park ran a red light and struck two cars after hearing the gunfire.

&#8226 June 26, 2015 – 12:40 AM: The gun was one of two fired at a gas station in the 9200 block of Rainier Ave S. Bullets fired from the Luger, and at least one other gun, struck nearby businesses and a nearby apartment building, where officers later recovered a bullet found on top of a resident’s bed. No one was injured in the incident.

&#8226 July 4, 2015 – 11:27 PM: Officers met a woman on the I-90 bridge, after she called 911 and reported her car had been struck by gunfire near 25th Ave S. and S. Massachusetts St. The woman and three children in the vehicle were not injured in the incident.

&#8226 July 10, 2015 – 12:55 AM: An 18-year-old man was shot in the torso and leg near 46th Ave S. and S. Henderson St. Officers found the man, and medics transported him to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
