SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle’s mayor and top police officials have asked the public for help in finding the shooter who critically wounded a young woman who recently moved to the city to become a chef.
Mayor Mike McGinn told a Tuesday news conference that 21-year-old Nicole Westbrook is “fighting for her life” at Harborview Medical Center. She was shot early Sunday morning while walking in the Pioneer Square neighborhood with her boyfriend.
Police believe it was a random shooting and hope others who were in the area can help them find the gunman.
Deputy Police Chief Nick Metz says Westbrook moved to Seattle from Albuquerque, N.M., to take culinary classes at the Art Institute of Seattle.
