SEATTLE — Two men and two women were shot early Sunday during an “illegal street racing event” on Capitol Hill, near Broadway and East Pike Street, according to the Seattle Police Department.
One of the women, who is in her 20s or 30s, police said, is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. The other three were treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, with two of the victims showing up at Harborview on their own. The other victims were a woman in her late teens to early 20s, a man in his late 20s and a man in his late 40s to early 50s, police said.
No suspects have been identified.
Police said that around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a report of a large crowd and vehicles being driven recklessly at Broadway and Pike, just outside the fences of this weekend’s Capitol Hill Block Party, which on Saturday night was scheduled to end at midnight.
“Initial attempts to disband the crowd were met with resistance,” noted a police blog post. Officers remained in the area.
