A male victim was reported at Swedish Cherry Hill hospital and police were collecting spent shell casings and documenting bullet holes in vehicles on 27th Ave near Spring following a bout of gunfire Saturday night around 10:30 PM.
Multiple people in the area reported hearing the gunfire and police sped to 27th Ave to investigate the shots. Minutes later, a male victim was reported at the nearby Swedish Cherry Hill medical facility.
We do not yet have information about the condition of the male victim and all details at this point are not confirmed with SPD or Seattle Fire. UPDATE 6/5/2015 4:30 PM: SPD has posted a brief on the shooting confirming our report and asking for anybody with details to call detectives at 206-233-5000:
Homicide detectives are investigating after a man was dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound Saturday night.
Witnesses called 911 at 10:25 PM Saturday after hearing multiple shots fired near 27 Ave. and E. Spring St.
Officers arrived and found multiple shell casings and bullet damaged houses and cars in the area. Swedish Cherry Hill called 911 advising officers a man had been dropped off with a gunshot wound. Doctors there stabilized the victim before he was taken to Harborview Medical Center for further treatment.

The SPD CSI unit was dispatched to the scene on 27th Ave.
People were saying they heard 8-12 shots and a car sped off. I just wish I had my cameras pointing towards the street to show police.
Interesting. Around 1pm today, more than a dozen cars swarmed every intersection just across MLK from there, three or four blocks east, from Cherry to Union.
Yeah, I noticed that when I went by around 1 or 2ish. At least a dozen cars around. Though the majority of them seemed to be on the other side of MLK, around 29th, from what I could see at the time.
Isn’t that corner a well know trouble spot?
Yes
It’s that same white corner house. It always is. It’s sad that one house on a block can be the cause of so much gun violence and nothing can really be done. I feel for the other families nearby.
I’m not sure why that place hasn’t been seized yet.
why don’t they just ask the guy at Harborview?
I’m sure they already have, Sherlock.
I am a little confused as the police report indicates a premeditated homicide at 27th and E. Spring on June 4 and the symbol also indicates that someone was murdered. Was there another victim?
No. Not sure what report you’re looking at.
I am looking under police reports. http://web6.seattle.gov/mnm/policereports.aspx
The war between the Deuce 8 G’s and Union street hustlers continues.
Yeah, at grandma’s house.
