Man shot in White Center, sheriff’s deputies investigating
Just in from Sgt. John Urquhart with the King County Sheriff’s Office:
A party at a house in White Center “went bad” early Sunday morning (January 16th). Numerous shots were fired about 3:10 AM by one suspect and one man was hit. He is at Harborview Medical Center after undergoing emergency surgery.
The house is in the 600 block of SW 107th St (map). A number of people were at the party and a fight broke out when one of the party-goers apparently grabbed the butt of one of the female guests. Her boy-friend took exception and there was a fistfight. The grabber was summarily ejected from the house.
About an hour later several men came back to the house, pounded on the front door, and then fired several rounds from a handgun into the house. A 20 year-old Seattle man was hit in the torso. The suspects fled.
The Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the shooting by neighbors.
Friends of the victim drove him to Harborview where he remains in critical condition. The friends remained and were interviewed by detectives.
There have been no arrests and the case is under investigation today.
