911 has dealt with two waves of calls about suspected gunfire this past hour or so. The first, in the Alki area, was determined by police to be fireworks. But the most recent, in Admiral, was just confirmed as gunfire. Police report finding at least two shell casings in the 2700 block of 44th SW [vicinity map], which is just south of Lafayette Elementary. No injuries or property damage reported so far.
Heard 3 pops followed by 3 more about 30 seconds in between. Was just walking my dog near 45th. Scary.
I heard the gunshots at 10:44 I live on 46th avenue Southwest and Stevens Street I heard one shot followed by three more I called it in right away Born and raised in the same neighborhood/house 44 years this is getting ridiculous
I heard the same string of fire you did. I’m on 47th/ SW Stevens. It sounded like it was right outside my house.
I heard 2 shots with another two shots with about 5 seconds in between. Sounded close like it was right outside my door. Close to 47th/ SW Stevens
I heard the two clusters of “pops” way too close for comfort as I was nearing PCC and feared they were gun shots. Police car was slowly driving north down 44th with bright lights on as I left PCC.
