SEATTLE (AP) — It was a violent weekend in the Seattle area with five shootings that left four people dead and six wounded.
Police are looking into the possibility that a Sunday night shooting that wounded two teens in a south Seattle parking lot was a gang retaliation for Saturday’s shooting that killed one teen and wounded another at the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila.
One man was killed early Sunday outside a nightclub, Vito’s Madison Grill, in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood.
One man who was found shot to death in a parked car Sunday on Pacific Highway South in Kent.
One man was killed and three others were wounded in a shooting early Saturday outside a restaurant, Afriq African Cuisine, in the Skyway area south of Seattle.
Oregon man shot by dog recovers
PORTLAND (AP) — Henry Marcum has nothing but kind words for the dog that shot his 23-year-old son this weekend.
Marcum says his son, Matthew, was about to tie up a boat in Tillamook Bay when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun.
The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Marcum. The 23-year-old was still recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks at Portland’s Legacy Emanuel Hospital this morning.
Matthew Marcum says he isn’t upset with him with his his 3-year-old Labrador, Drake.
Drake is a good dog and the shooting is “just one of those things.”
