One dead, three injured after shooting near Golden Gardens

SEATTLE — Seattle police are investigating a mass shooting on Thursday afternoon.

According to Seattle Police, the shooting occurred at Golden Gardens dog park around 3:30 p.m.

Police told KIRO 7 that someone may have tracked a stolen car to the dog park when two parties exchanged gunfire.

There was a lot to sort through by the time police arrived, with multiple shooters and victims.

“When we get to a scene like this we have to kind of stabilize it, slow it down, find out who is involved because when we arrive we don’t know who the suspects are or who the potential victims are so we kind of freeze the scene,” SPD Captain Lori Aagard told KIRO 7.

At the dog park, one person, a 44-year-old man, was shot and killed. A 25-year-old man was also treated at the scene.

Two other people -- a 50-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man -- then drove off in a car, stopping at 26th Avenue Northwest and Northwest Market Street, near the National Nordic Museum.

Those two people both suffered gunshot wounds and were transported to Harborview Medical Center. They were released from the hospital on Friday.
