UPDATE: Woman shot south of The Junction

1:40 AM: Police and fire are headed to a report of at least one shooting victim near 42nd/Dawson. Updates to come.

1:43 AM: Officers are telling dispatch that a woman has been shot int the abdomen. She is reported to have told them who is responsible.

1:50 AM: The possible suspect is reported to have left the scene in a vehicle, maybe a green Infiniti. (Update: It’s been further described as a 1998 i3.)

1:56 AM: SFD medics are taking the victim, reported by medics to be 37 years old, to Harborview.

2:28 AM: So far, no further details on circumstances nor on the victim’s condition; we will of course follow up later this morning.

8:41 AM: Police say the victim’s injuries are not life-threatening; SFD says she was in stable condition when transported. SPD has just posted more details:

Around 1:30 AM, a 21-year-old man called 911 and reported that his mother had been shot in the 4200 block of Southwest Dawson Street. Officers found the woman leaning up against a car on the street.

Police learned the man and his mother were outside on the street when the man began talking to five known people in a car. The conversation turned into a dispute and one person in the vehicle fired a gun at the man, missing him and striking his 37-year-old mother.

    I heard yelling and went to my living area facing the scene directly and heard/saw the shot and then more fighting.  I called to report and SPD/FD were here super fast to assist.  Grateful for our first responders every day.

    The sirens woke me up – I am a few blocks away – and I am grateful to the blog for being on top of it. I hope that the victims have healing – how terrifying.

    Did this take place outside? Or inside a residence? The two obviously knew each other. Domestic violence related?

      Newest info added above.

        Thanks to the WSB for being so on top of it. I never understand these situations. How does a dispute lead to someone shooting another person? Who’s associating themselves with these types of people? Let’s keep the violence out of our neighborhoods. We all deserve better.

      I heard on the scanner the patient telling the officers the name of the man that shot her.. so they definitely know each other somehow.

        I noted in the original coverage that police were told who to look for. The additional information above says it was someone known to the son, who was the intended target.

    Why must a conversation always turn into a gun fight?  Im so tired and disappointed by this.  Stop hanging out and associating with terrible people.  Not victim shaming but I hang around law abiding citizens and have never been shot at. Just sayin.

      Sorry, which part of that wasn’t victim shaming?

  • BDR September 9, 2021 (3:10 pm)

    Hope the woman is healing well. Any update on an arrest? I’d like to know the shooter has been located and will be in jail for a few years. We need tougher sentences for gun crimes to keep volatile people off the street so we don’t need to worry about getting shot in the crossfire. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
