Two people arrived at Harborview Medical Center Friday after they were shot while driving in the 800 block of Rainier Avenue South in Seattle around 1:30 p.m., police said.
The suspects are still at large.
According to the Seattle Police Department, the shooting occurred when two vehicles pulled up next to each other. A man leaned out of the passenger side window of what is described as a grey, GMC Yukon or Chevy Suburban with a red stripe on the side, and opened fire.
Occupants of the other vehicle, an 18-year-old male and a female in her 20’s, were shot and drove to the hospital with what were described as non-life threatening injuries. A 12-year-old boy who was also in the vehicle was not harmed.
A vehicle that matched the description was later stopped near 4th Avenue and Yesler Way. Four people were identified, but later released at the scene.
It is unclear what prompted the shooting.
