SEATTLE -- Seattle police are investigating a shooting in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood outside of a nightclub that sent two people to the hospital.
Police say the shooting happened on the 1200 block of Pine Street at about 2 a.m.
"Officers began arriving and heard multiple gunshots and saw a group of people attempting to flee the area," said Detective Patrick Michaud. "An officer approaching the scene spotted a 30-year-old man hobbling away holding a handgun."
An officer recognized the man as a convicted felon who wasn't legally allowed to have a gun on him.
The man was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for treatment. Police say he was shot four times.
A second man, 35, was also shot and taken to the hospital.
"A security guard for a club stated that there had been a fight inside his club just before the shooting and that they were able to usher the people out just as the shooting began," Michaud said.
Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to call the Seattle Police Department tip line at 206-233-5000.
Obviously we won’t have any peace until all law-abiding firearms owners are disarmed.
What was he thinking??????
It was a GUN FREE ZONE!..................
NHI?
Don’t know what NHI is.......
This MUST be fake news!! Gun laws in Seattle are so strict it would be almost impossible for anyone to have a gun, much less a criminal.
How can this be?
I’m so confused....
It’s a police acronym.
We need more laws that tell people to obey the law.
The police are asking for information without providing descriptions. So are they illegals or 30 year old teens?
huh? WA is open carry and state preemption.
Last time I checked Seattle is still in WA.
Not familiar with PoPo lingo....................
No Humans Involved (crimes against undesirables).
Yes, but it’s not in the USA..................
“NHI n. U.S. Police slang no humans involved, an informal classification assigned to a crime giving it low priority because its victim is regarded as having a low social status.
“Yes, but it’s not in the USA..................”
Seattle?
He might not have been legally allowed to have a gun, but the fact that he got shot shows that he needed one.
My bad. I assumed because it was so Liberal they wouldn’t permit weapons at all or else make the process so difficult as to effectively ban them.
Thanks for the info.
Yes, it’s in the Peoples Republic of Washington [who owned Slaves].......................
