We talked with SPD spokesperson Renee Witt this morning about calls to 911 reporting an argument followed by gunfire somewhere south of Bellevue and Republican early Monday morning. Witt said that officers did an area check but didn’t turn up any evidence of the incident and no report was filed.
Around 2:10 AM, one caller reported hearing multiple shots and possibly seeing a car speed away from the area of the shots fired calls. According to radio reports, an officer pulled over a Jeep Cherokee carrying five passengers near Denny and Bellevue but apparently the vehicle was not involved.
It was a violent morning in Seattle. Around 2 AM Monday, a man in his 20s was shot near 2nd and Yesler and was taken to Harborview with life-threatening injuries. Police have no description of the suspect in that crime.
