UPDATE: Man shot at Delridge apartment

6:54 AM: Police and fire are arriving at an apartment complex in the 5900 block of Delridge Way SW, after a report of a man with a gunshot wound to the leg.

7:08 AM: Police describe the wound as non-life-threatening. The Delridge/Juneau traffic camera shows the response (on the Juneau side of the complex). No word so far on circumstances.

7:28 AM: Listening back to the recording of the original dispatch, police were told the victim said he opened his door and was shot by someone he knows; the only descriptive information he gave initially was “white male, 5’10”.”

7:35 AM: We went to the area to try to find out more; the response at the complex is down to one (unoccupied) police car.

10:16 AM: SFD says the victim is a 55-year-old man who was in stable condition when taken to the hospital via private ambulance.

    Hate hearing about violence of any kind, but especially when it often seems to occur near this intersection.  There’s childcare facility and school right there.  I wish these things didn’t happen- so awful and scary.

    Wait a minute. If I’m not mistaken, these two have a history of “occurrences “ that the blog has reported on throughout the years 

Sorry, comment time is over.
