12:43a No word on injuries but report of assault with weapons tonight at 1325 E Madison tonight just before 12:30a. Got scanner report that officer believes he has the shooter in custody but that the weapon was taken from the scene by another suspect.

UPDATE: 5:15a I still don't have official word on any of the victims. Slog says at least one had died.

UPDATE: 6:33a Heard KOMO AM report on the story. They are also reporting 1 dead, two injured. BTW, Baltic Room shooting just under 1 year ago, Jan. 26, 2008.

UPDATE: 7:00a Here's the release from SPD on the incident:

Homicide, shooting in Central District
On January 4th at 12:27 a.m. officers responded to 911 calls of shots fired at a nightclub in the 1300 block of East Madison Street. Officers arrived on scene in under a minute and discovered three gunshot victims, all males apparently in their 20’s. SFD Medics were summoned immediately and subsequently transported all three victims to Harborview Medical Center. One victim died after arriving at Harborview. A second victim sustained life-threatening injuries, and the third victim reportedly has non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover. Preliminary investigation indicates there was a band playing and a crowd of patrons watching the band. A dispute erupted and shots were fired. Two of the victims are believed to be patrons and one victim possibly an entertainer. It is unknown if any of the victims were targeted. Officers apprehended two possible suspects that are currently being interviewed by detectives. Homicide, CSI, and Gang Unit Detectives all responded to process the scene and interview witnesses. This remains an active and on-going investigation.

UPDATE 2:09p: SPD has clarified their post regarding the two people detained Sunday morning. New info: "After officers’ arrival on scene, two men were detained and subsequently interviewed by Homicide Detectives. One of those initially detained, a 25-year-old male suspect, has been booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Assault (felony assault). The other subject, a witness, was interviewed and released. At least one male suspect is still at large."
