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.
