Seattle Times staff reporters
An increase in gun violence, earlier in the year than usual, has prompted the Seattle Police Department to step up patrols.
The areas targeted include central Seattle, Second Avenue and Yesler Way, and South Seattle, Chief Kathleen O’Toole said in an interview Saturday. Both plainclothes and uniformed officers will be deployed in neighborhoods with shooting hot spots.
The announcement followed two shootings early Saturday.
The first occurred near 10th Avenue East and East Seneca Street shortly before 1 a.m., police said. Gunfire was exchanged between two moving vehicles. No one was injured, but parked cars were damaged, said Sgt. Sean Whitcomb, a police spokesman.
Four people were injured, one seriously, in the second shooting, just after 2 a.m. in a parking lot at Occidental Avenue South and South Washington Street. In that incident, people were walking to their cars, a fight began and shots were fired, Whitcomb said.
The shootings were not connected, he said.
The shootings are being investigated by the department’s gang unit. There have been no arrests.
