Police are investigating after three gunmen opened fire on a security guard’s empty vehicle late Tuesday evening on First Hill.
At 10:39 pm, police received multiple reports of gunfire in the 1000 block of James Street.
When officers arrived on scene, they found a grey Dodge Charger, belonging to a private security company, which had been damaged by gunfire.
Police learned the security guard had pulled his vehicle into an alleyway and gotten out of his car to move a mattress, which was blocking his path.
As he was outside of the car, three gunmen opened fire from both ends of the alley, striking his vehicle.
Witnesses reported seeing a silver Mercedes and a black BMW flee the scene.
No one was injured in the incident.
