Eyewitnesses estimate more than 40 shots were fired in a matter of minutes.
SEATTLE — A shootout on Seattle’s Capitol Hill overnight has the neighborhood on edge.The shootout happened just two days after Seattle’s mayor promised to aggressively tackle violent crime.Misael Dominguez’s restaurant has been here for 10 years. But he says he has never experienced what happened here early this morning: an old-fashioned shootout in this alley right beside his place.
Indeed, he says he found two bullet casings inside the restaurant. The Seattle Police Department blotter says 911 calls started coming in at about 2:30 early Sunday morning. Officers got here quickly and encountered people fleeing on foot and in vehicles. Someone left this bullet riddled-vehicle behind — it was still running some 12 hours later.
“The fact of the matter, we have seen an increase in violent crime,” Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said late last week as he condemned the spike in violence.Now Seattle police have formed a Gun Violence Reduction Unit to address the issue.“I was startled to find the bullet hole and the bullet actually laying in my living room floor,” said Kyle Dukart, who lives in an apartment across the street.
On top of all of this, his business has been repeatedly vandalized over the last six months. His windows have been shattered five or six times.Seattle police are trying to collect surveillance video from local businesses and are asking anyone who knows anything about this to give them a call.
