From The Seattle Times:
5 shot in downtown Seattle at busy intersection
Five people were shot outside a convenience store in downtown Seattle Wednesday night, and the shooter is at large, police said.
Gunshots were reported shortly before 7 p.m. outside the 7-Eleven store on Third Avenue between Pike and Pine streets, at a major bus stop.
Witnesses said a group of people were arguing when the gunman began to walk away, and then turned around and fired into the crowd. At least one victim was a bystander, Seattle police Assistant Chief Robert Merner said.
A bit more:
There was an additional police presence in downtown Seattle because of an anti-Donald Trump rally, which started at Westlake Mall earlier in the evening.
The rally turned into a march and was proceeding down various streets at the time of the shootings, according to witnesses. Merner said the shooting is unrelated.
Merner is the Seattle police Assistant Chief - no ID on the shooter as far. I used to love Seattle, glad I do not live there any more.
