Two men were wounded in a shooting Monday evening in Seattle’s Central District.
Police receieved 911 calls just after 7 p.m. from neighbors who had heard the shots being fired near the 400 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way.
“We do not believe that this is a random shooting, we believe it’s gang related,” said Seattle Police Detective Renee Witt.
Police said one of the men had a gunshot wound to the buttocks, while the other sustained a shot in the shoulder area. Both men were taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Police said there was little to no information on the assailant.
Investigators and the gang unit conducted the investigation at the scene.
