Overview

• SPD’s Gun Violence Reduction Unit responded and recovered shell casings after multiple rounds were fired into the Ballard home early Sunday.
• This marks the third attack on the property in two years, following prior shootings and episodes of vandalism targeting the display of partisan signs.
• No injuries were reported because the homeowner was asleep during the incident and police have yet to identify any suspects.
• The homeowner’s vehicle was also struck by gunfire and had been defaced with Pride flag stickers during earlier harassment episodes.
• Specialized police units are being deployed to tackle a broader surge in ideologically motivated property attacks across Seattle.
