Story Updated: Early reports said an injured person had been shot, but SPD says that person was injured while dropping to the ground when gunshots were fired. See update below for more.
Original story:
Sorry for light details on this one but we do know that there was a report of a woman at 28th and Jackson tonight with a gunshot wound to the arm. We’re still trying to track down details of the shooting but given the holiday weekend that could take some time. The injury was serious but apparently not life-threatening. We’ll update with more as we get it.
Maybe you want to cross out some parts of the story now that you sorta know what happened. “we do know that there was a report of a woman at 28th and Jackson tonight with a gunshot wound to the arm” and ” The injury was serious but apparently not life-threatening” in the first paragraph are kind of misleading given that the woman hurt her wrist while dropping to the ground to avoid the gunfire.
Glad the woman is OK and you are reporting on this.
Sad, but typical. Exactly why I moved my kids out of Leschi. We were too close too many times to this exact scenario.
