West Seattle Blog… | UPDATE: Shooting investigation in Highland Park/Riverview with two gun locations

7:51 p.m.: Police are responding to a report of a shooting in Highland Park/Riverview. A person reportedly arrived at the 16th/Holden fire station with a gunshot wound, although the shooting appears to have occurred elsewhere, possibly near 16th/Holly.

The person or persons who shot the victim are believed to be in a black Jeep.

19:54: The description of the shooter(s)’ vehicle has changed again – possibly a dark green Kia Soul. … The possible location of the shooting is also now described as 13th/Myrtle, “where the victim was parked” when the shooting occurred.

19:59: Officers told dispatch they found shell casings on 13th Street north of Myrtle near Riverview Playfield. … The vehicle description has changed for the third time – officers say a copper-colored Kia Sportage can be seen on neighborhood surveillance video.

20:27: Police are in the process of completing their investigation at 13th/Myrtle (where our photo above is from), but have also just reported shell casings at 16th/Myrtle, so they are now closing 16th to investigate. In the meantime, we are trying to determine the status of the victim who showed up at the fire station.
