Seattle police face hostile crowd after nightclub shooting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE -- A Seattle police spokesman says officers faced a hostile crowd early Monday as they responded to a report of shots fired in a popular downtown area.
Spokesman Jeff Kappel says there was a large disturbance shortly after 1 a.m. in the street at Western Avenue and Bell.
A woman in her 20s was wounded and taken to Harborview Medical Center with a wound described as non-life threatening. It's unknown if she was a target or a random victim.
Kappell says it took a large number of officers to control a hostile crowd. Several cars fled the scene. In one, officers arrested two suspects and seized a gun.
The shooting took place near a nightclub and a witness says several fights had broken out.

What a riot. Rich asked if those were gun shots. I am so used to hearing noises outside, especially at bar-closing hours and I was in a zone with headphones on transcribing so I didn't pay attention. Of course the one time I don't go outside to see what the cops are yelling at over their loudspeakers but usually it's nothing exciting. This time it was. Oh well. It's funny cuz the cops were saving to "get in their vehicles and vacate the area" and the article says cars fled the scene heh. :)
