Three people were injured in a shooting Tuesday outside a gathering for a funeral in Seattle’s Central District, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Seattle police said they spoke to witnesses who said they were concerned that some sort of “retaliation” would occur at the funeral, but Seattle police have not confirmed that information.
Police are currently investigating the incident near 26th Avenue South and South Norman Street and have urged the public to avoid the area.
Three people were injured. One man was shot in the head, one female was shot in the buttocks, and one man was shot in the right thigh.
The 30-year-old woman was transported to Harborview Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
The other two victims were taken in their own cars. The 30-year-old man in serious condition and a 26-year-old man was in critical condition. One of the vehicles at the hospital was damaged by gunfire.
Police are still searching for the suspect(s) involved. A dumped stolen vehicle was recovered nearby and towed for processing.
Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
No arrests have been made.
