Three Shot Near Nightclub in Capitol Hill

Seattle police are investigating a shooting on May 18 in the Capitol Hill neighborhood that left three adult men seriously injured.  

At about 1:10 a.m., officers responded to reports of shooting in the 900 block of East Pike Street. Officers arrived and found three men suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers provided aid until Seattle Fire Department arrived. Medics transported all three victims to Harborview Medical Center, two in serious condition and one in critical condition. 

The investigation revealed an altercation occurred between three males and nightclub security outside the business. As the males left, at least one suspect pulled out a handgun and fired multiple shots toward the club, striking the three victims. Shortly after, the three suspects left the scene on foot before officers arrived.     

Detectives with the Gun Violence Reduction Unit will be leading the investigation and will work to determine what led to the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Seattle Police Department Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
