For the second night in a row, someone has fired a gun from a car in West Seattle. Saturday night, a car and home were hit at 20th and Cloverdale, no injuries; Sunday night, again no injuries, and this time no property damage, but Southwest Precinct Lt. Alan Williams confirmed to WSB that spent casings were found after shots were reported to have been heard around 10th SW and SW Elmgrove. Also, he says, whoever did it was nowhere to be found.

  10. We’ve heard a few reports of those. Not confirmed as gunshots yet that we know of – just heard something on the scanner related to this and described as “kids throwing eggs.”

  11. I talked to the officers on the phone and they had received a few other calls about it too.
