Police searching for gunman after Seattle shooting in broad daylight

Seattle police are searching for gunmen following a shooting Thursday afternoon in the middle of the afternoon in Rainier Valley. The shooting left a man seriously injured. Investigators said the first 911 calls came in just after 2 o'clock. Fox 13's Jennifer Dowling talked to neighbors about what they heard around the time of the shooting. Police say this is where the shooting happened near the corner of Wabash and Rose. Neighbors say they heard two to three shots followed by yelling and screaming. Just before 2 p.m. I heard a couple of loud shots. This neighbor who didn't want her name used for privacy reasons was home when the shooting happened. I came up to my window. I saw someone kind of. Running, acting suspicious, like tucking into their jacket. When officers arrived, they say they found one person that had been shot in the torso. Neighbors heard him yelling after being struck. I could hear screaming down the street, yelling, someone saying that I've just been shot. So I ran back, grabbed my phone, called the cops. The victim was taken to Harborview. By the time that call was finished, there were at least four units on the scene. Cops immediately kind of blocked off the area, started talking to people, and there were at least two. Like EMTs with med bags there. Seattle police say after investigating, they found out that the suspect and victim knew each other and an altercation had taken place beforehand. The suspect fired at least twice and hit the victim in the torso. Other incidents around here have happened later into the evening, like between 7 and midnight, this being broad daylight, 2 p.m. in the afternoon. That was probably the most surprising part of it. Neighbors say this area has seen its share of violence before. I was definitely a bit shaken by it. Unfortunately, it's not surprising. It's not shocking. There was an incident, another shooting at the bus stop just a block or two away, I believe earlier this month. We've had other incidents over the summers, there's been multiple shootings, various people involved. Though shootings are not new to the community, neighbors say it's still a sad situation. I'm glad to see quick response from EMS workers, firefighters, police. They're always very fast here. But it would be nice to have other options and preventative measures. If you have any information on who the suspect is or where they might be, reach out to Seattle Police. Reporting from Seattle, Jennifer Dowling, FOX 13 News.
