SEATTLE — An investigation is underway after a toddler and three others were shot Sunday in Seattle’s Central District.
Officers were called at about 3:22 p.m. to 23rd Avenue South and South Jackson Street for a report of a shooting.
Police said some suspects reportedly approached a business parking lot on foot and started firing gunshots into the parking.
A 2-year-old and three men were struck by bullets, officials said.
Before medics or police arrived at the scene, all the victims were taken to hospitals in personal vehicles.
Police said the 2-year-old is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center.
A spokesperson with Harborview said two men are in satisfactory condition and that a third man was taken to another hospital but was being transferred to Harborview and is likely in satisfactory condition.
No other injuries were reported.
It is not yet known what led to the gunfire.
The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made.
Police are asking for anyone with information to contact authorities.
