I work across the street. Close to twenty shots fired. Talked to an officer who confirmed at least one person dead. Shot in the head. Heard talk that one of the security guards on this block was involved. They don't know if it was retaliation and two guns were involved or just one shooter. They all sounded the same to me.

Thanks for the info. Is it weird that there's absolutely zero media coverage? Either that or my Google-Fu is broken.

I saw the casing outside baltic room. Police blocked people from that point on.

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 5ポイント6ポイント  (12子コメント)

They are focusing on finding all of the casings right now. It seems like some managed to escape pretty far.

I live across from El Capitan. I heard the gunshots work there way down to in front of my building so I loaded up my shotgun thinking someone was on a rampage.

Dude, that was my first thought. I'm in Olive Tower and I heard them moving and started freaking the fucking out. Thought it was a similar thing as what happened a couple years ago, that fucking psycho who shot up a bunch of people for shits and giggles.

The raver kids?

Last year? Nah the dude who shot that woman to steal her car. Was that the same guy who shot up Cafe Racer? I can't remember.

[–]spooghet 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Oh yea, I remember that one. 5 helicopters.

Fucking crazy media response. Strange that there wasn't one for this one. Or maybe no strange. It was 2am, after all.

[–]SunfriedLower Queen Anne 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Saturday 2AM. Media People gotta sleep or drink or get laid too. Possibly more than most of us.

Wait, what happened with raver kids?

[–]gringledoom 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Years ago there was a mass shooting of raver kids on the hill.

Ah, this! I was out of state at the time but thanks for the link.

On the other thread there are reports of 30+ shots. I heard around 19, and people at the scene echoed that number. Anyone else have input?

[–]cushylCapitol Hill 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

I heard ~20ish. A bunch at first, then a short pause, then a few more.

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, exactly what I heard. I was saying 19, but I didn't count them. I think 20ish is probably more reasonable than 30. It accounts for two chambers/clips of bullets in a normal handgun, plus additional fire from a third party, which from what I can tell is what happened.

[–]zizzletops 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

"Additional crime scene" is unrelated, scanner reports.

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks for that.

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Scanner watchers: heard something about Boren and Pine/weapon, missed what it was. Anyone catch it?

[–]spooghet 4ポイント5ポイント  (8子コメント)

Anyone hit?

[–]pipedreamSEAFremont -3ポイント-2ポイント  (7子コメント)

No, but the shit was literally right around me. Was riding home down Pine right at 2am when the shots rang out.

[–]zizzletops 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

People were in fact hit - I believe two victims were reported on the scanner - at least one received CPR and was being transported to harborview.

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, two victims via scanner. I just got back from gawking and talking to people who were there. Same story I heard: a series of shots (12, minimum), sounded like two people shooting at each other, a break in the shooting (probably about 15-20s), then four to five more shots.

I can see everything from my window, and the shots woke me up. I saw a group of people standing around what looked like a person on the ground (possibly Harborview person). There were two ambulances on sight.

oh shit... that's awful

[–]ntbc 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Shit. I hope you were taking the lane. That downhill bike lane on Pine scares the shit out of me. It is bad enough without bullets whizzing by. Glad to hear you are not injured.

[–]pipedreamSEAFremont 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nope. Traffic was at a complete standstill so I was utilizing the bike lane. Up until the point where there was a car blocking it with its 4-ways on. I said some shit about them blocking the bike lane and then all of a sudden gunshots rang out right behind me.

I miss the days when the ne'er-do-wells on Capitol Hill were junkies instead of pumped up drunk bros milling about in the hundreds on hot summer nights being testosterone and booze fueled dicks. This is my last summer on Capitol Hill. I spent a lifetime dreaming of living in this town and planning my happily ever after and the last nine years have just sucked balls here. I'm taking what money that hasn't been sucked up by my multiple rent increases the last three years and getting the hell out of here in September.

[–]Ma1eficent 24ポイント25ポイント  (8子コメント)

Almost all of the gun violence on the hill for the last couple years has been the Somali gang that has declared it their turf. It's not 'drunk bros', whatever that is supposed to mean. There's a very specific group that is involved in nearly every single one of these incidents.

[–]justanothertaw 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

Do you have any more info on this?

[–]Ma1eficent 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

[–]GoblinGates 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Source? I'm interested

[–]owltattooCapitol Hill[S] 12ポイント13ポイント  (6子コメント)

Common sentiment. I've only lived on Capitol Hill for four years, but I've already seen it change drastically.

[–]whore-chata 12ポイント13ポイント  (6子コメント)

I don't think this was the act of pumped up drunk bro's, but rather gangsters seeking vengeance for some gang-related nonsensical 'beef'.

[–]gringledoom 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, it's the same crowd that used to have shootings in Belltown.

[–]onlyinseattleSeattleite-at-Heart 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, from what I hear the mythical 'Brogrammer' pretty much just sticks to Call of Duty.

[–]GoblinGates -5ポイント-4ポイント  (3子コメント)

What makes you think that? There's zero evidence for either side.

[–]whore-chata 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

Hey, if you can find me one instance of a group of educated, fully employed men in their 20's that have riddled a party or nightclub with bullets in the name of their "turf", I'd consider taking your point. Until then, I will continue to presume it was gangsters.

[–]GoblinGates -5ポイント-4ポイント  (1子コメント)

How do you know the motive of the shooting? There have been zero details. Conjecture by some redditor is not evidence.

[–]whore-chata 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't have the energy on a Sunday to play this fun little back and fourth hypothetical game with you. Data and spidey sense tell me that this wasn't just some lone whackadoo. But sure, continue with your little hypothesis and let me know who was right when SPD releases the final report.

[–]newnewBrad 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

These were not bros. Sat. at Baltic Room is gangster wannabe night. I passed by there an hour earlier and thought to myself "somebody gonna get shot out here"

[–]docebtRavenna 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why did you stay on Capitol Hill for so long if it was that awful? There's a lot of other great neighborhoods.

[–]Greta_Garbanzo 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's has to be tough to host hip hop nights when this crap happens so frequently at them.

[–]FraggarF 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are several long running hip-hop nights in Seattle where this kind of thing doesn't happen... I can think of one on Capitol Hill that has been going for 3 years. Another just down the hill near Eastlake that has been going for 11 years.

If your event doesn't attract shooters, you won't have shootings.
