SEATTLE — A shooting in Seattle’s Rainier Valley early Thursday sparked a large police response.
A 5 a.m., a Seattle Department of Transportation camera showed numerous police vehicles at South Othello Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, very close to a Safeway store.
One person was taken to the hospital.
The westbound lanes were blocked during the investigation, which was wrapping up at around 5:25 a.m.
Video from the scene showed officers had put up crime scene tape around a bus stop, but were later seen taking it down.
