Detectives Investigating South Park Shooting

Gang detectives are conducting an investigation following a shooting that occurred in South Park earlier this evening.  A 16-year-old male is at Harborview Medical Center after he was shot in the head.

At approximately 6:45 pm on Wednesday, February 7th,  911 began receiving calls of “shots fired” and a person down at 14th Avenue South and South Trenton Street.  Officers arrived quickly and called for the Seattle Fire Department after locating the victim.  Medics transported the victim to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

A K-9 team responded to the scene and began a search, but the track was unsuccessful.  Gang detectives responded and began their investigation by processing the scene and interviewing potential witnesses.

This remains an active and on-going investigation.  Anyone with information on this shooting is urged to contact the Seattle Police Department.
