Police are looking for a shooter targeting people with an airgun near Crawford and E Olive after a person was shot and injured by a BB or pellet late Saturday night, the latest in a string of similar shootings reported in the area.

According to Seattle Police, officers were called to the Capitol Hill Kaiser Permanente just after 11 PM Saturday night after a man with what was believed to be a gunshot wound arrived at the facility. Police say it turned out the victim had been shot in the buttocks with a BB or pellet.

Police were sent to the area of the shooting near Crawford and E Olive St and attempted “knock and talks” in the neighborhood in buildings where the shots could be coming from but SPD says the officers were not successful in locating a suspect.

Police say Saturday’s shooting was the third of its type reported in the area including an incident on Tuesday, March 8th and another on Sunday, February 27th.

This sniper endangered everyone in that building by getting SPD to roam their halls looking to bust skulls. One false move and it could have been someones life. Armed goons roaming the city enacting “justice”. What could go wrong?

when do you move? You’re naive and hysterical. People with your mentality ruined Seattle. Move back where you came from.
