Police are investigating after a man allegedly shot a woman and man sitting inside a car in Belltown Tuesday morning, killing the 34-year-old woman and her unborn child and injuring the 37-year-old man.
This photo shows a Tesla that was caught in the crossfire of the fatal Belltown shooting that killed a 34-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn child on June 13, 2023. The Tesla the victims were inside had several holes where bullets pierced the driver-side window. One witness working in a building next to the shooting scene told KOMO News he heard about four gunshots.
Officers arrived at the scene and found the two victims: a 34-year-old pregnant woman with "life-threatening injuries" and a 37-year-old man with "non-life-threatening injuries," the SPD said. Both were taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment, police added. The woman died hours later.Today's incident is horrific and something no one should have to endure.
People in the area said they were tracking an alert about a guy walking up and down Bell Street with a rifle. It’s unclear if police were already in the area when the shooting happened, but SPD Assistant Chief Thomas Mahaffey later told KOMO News witnesses gave officers the information they needed to quickly find the man they were looking for and arrest him for the shooting.
“My mom’s always been telling me to hop out of the area because she’s afraid something like this would happen," said Daniel Palmer, who lives across the street from the shooting scene. "I’ve been here two years and never seen anything like that."While speaking at an unrelated event on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Bruce Harrell called the deadly shooting a tragedy.
