12:17 PM: The woman is reported to have an abdominal wound and is being taken to Harborview. We were a block away when the response happened and are at the scene waiting to talk to police.

12:33 PM: Police tell us the man they were questioning is under arrest. They are not commenting on whatever they’ve learned about the circumstances so far.

1 PM: Listening back to dispatch audio now that we’re back at HQ, the initial report was that the man and woman knew each other and that he claimed he shot her because she “came at him with a knife.” Dispatch also was told that neighbors retrieved the gun and were turning it over to police.

1:55 PM: SFD says the victim was in critical condition when transported.

6:26 PM: Via SPD Blotter, police added a few more details, confirming “there was a disturbance, involving a knife and a firearm,” showing a photo of the gun, and describing the shooting victim as 24 years old and the arrested suspect as 29 years old.

MONDAY AFTERNOON: The suspect remains in jail; we’re checking on whether he will have a probable-cause/bail hearing today.

TUESDAY UPDATE: The man arrested Sunday has been released from jail.

We were driving on Alaska I think it was and we saw 5 police cars go by and 3 fire trucks

I was putting my kids in the car and heard the shot. Then someone ask for help in the distance. The shot sounded close. I looked around and couldn’t see anyone. Thinking it was at the adjacent building. My husband had just picked the car up from 42nd and Oregon and picked us up at coastal. I hope whomever that was is ok. This is so so scary.

Witnessed person being carried out and put on stretcher. Witnesses sharing they heard yelling, calling for help and what sounded like a gunshot. Just steps away from the farmer’s market.

Johnnie April 30, 2023 (12:20 pm)

Granted it’s Sunday, but just steps away from several schools as well.

I was on the corner when it happened, the weird part is it was the man yelling out his apartment window “help they’re going to shoot me call 911” and then the shots. There were three of us that heard it and we all agreed it was the man yelling

  Yes, another Sunday of stoking a base by making assumptions before the facts come out

    I don’t think there’s any mystery about “just another” gun shooting in America…

    Yep another day when you could have separated yourself from the situation instead of escalating it. Duh!
Lagartija Nick April 30, 2023 (2:36 pm)

BUDDSMOM April 30, 2023 (2:29 pm)

Admiral April 30, 2023 (5:14 pm)

Scary. Did the police find a knife at the scene?

WSB April 30, 2023 (5:30 pm)

Don’t know. The gun discovery was per a phone call that dispatch relayed to officers in the early going; other investigative discoveries wouldn’t necessarily be mentioned over the air.
