SEATTLE (AP) — King County sheriff’s deputies are still looking for a shooting suspect described as extremely dangerous because of her mental health, and she’s armed.

Spokesman John Urquhart (URK’-hart) said Friday they had no leads in the hunt for 51-year-old Ayanna Shamari.

She’s accused of an unprovoked attack Wednesday in the Skyway area south of Seattle.

The sheriff’s office says she walked into the kitchen of the group home where she lives and started shooting. The owner of the home was wounded in the stomach and head. She was last reported in serious condition.

Detectives believe Shamari also set fire to her bedroom before driving off. Police are looking for her 1996 Ford Windstar van, Washington license 477RNZ.
