SEATTLE (AP) — Police are still looking for the man who walked up to some parked cars in south Seattle and shot four people, killing one and wounding three.

It happened at about 11 p.m. Wednesday, and the gunman fled on foot.

Spokeswoman Renee Witt said Thursday morning detectives haven’t determined if it was a gang shooting or if the victims knew the attacker.

A 19-year-old woman died at the scene. She was sitting in one car with a 16-year-old girl who was wounded in an arm and a leg.

A 21-year-old man sitting in another car was wounded in the abdomen and a finger.

A 17-year-old boy sitting on the hood of a third car was wounded in a leg.

The wounded were all treated at Harborview Medical Center.
