Overview
- The weekend cluster left three people dead and three wounded after two separate early-morning shootings less than two hours apart and a separate late-night shooting in Belltown.
- Seattle Police Department homicide detectives and the Gun Violence Reduction Unit are leading the probes and are using CCTV, forensic work and tip lines to pursue leads.
- Officers say one early-morning incident followed a street altercation and another involved a gunman firing into a parked car that struck a woman who later died.
- The late-night attack killed a 17-year-old at the scene and sent a 21-year-old to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries, and police say that suspect is not in custody.
- The shootings come about six weeks after the Bite of Seattle mass shooting and have prompted city officials to seek public tips, review patrols and face pressure to reduce recurring street takeovers and public disorder.
