SEATTLE — The Seattle region witnessed four shootings the last two days, adding to an increasingly violent year.

On Friday night, Seattle police responded to a shooting in South Seattle near Seward Park Avenue South, at the address of the Lake Washington Apartments. Three men, ages 21, 22 and 23, suffered non-life-threatening wounds and were taken to Harborview Medical Center, according to the SPD blotter.

Police did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

In Renton, police dealt with a pair of shootings. Just after 10 p.m. Friday, officers were called to Morris Avenue South and South Fourth Street, where a 24-year-old man was shot to death. Renton police were investigating the death as a homicide.

A Renton police spokesperson said that shortly after midnight, officers responded to another, separate call regarding gunshots at the intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and Queen Avenue Northeast. A man was shot in the face but was able to call 911 for help.

He was taken to Harborview Medical Center. Details about his condition have not been released. Renton police say they found at least 11 shell casings at the scene, and have not yet identified a motive or suspect.

On Thursday, a 29-year-old man was shot and killed in North Seattle’s Bitter Lake neighborhood, in the 12500 block of Aurora Avenue North. He was apparently shot multiple times, police say.

Police provided aid until the Seattle Fire Department arrived and took over, but the man died at the scene, according to police.
