3 injured in homeless camp shooting improving

Police say they have not arrested anyone in the Tuesday night shooting at the encampment known as “The Jungle”.

“At this point, we don’t know if it’s safe, we urge people to stay away until we can get you additional information”.

Murray said, “We have tried to do the best that we can given the circumstances we have but obviously I’m going to question was I good enough at my own job”.

Dozens of police officers, SWAT teams and sharp shooters are combing the area and interviewing residents of the camp.

Police responding to reports of gunfire searched the area and found the bloody victims.

Three others were wounded in the shoot-out in Seattle. One woman is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The three were in surgery until approximately midnight.

Gregg says in a news release that two women are breathing on their own and remain in serious condition in intensive care.

Police said one of the victims, an unidentified woman, died at the scene.

Two suspects were being sought, police said.

“We are working furiously to identify a suspect”, police Chief Kathleen O’Toole said. The city recently announced that empty lots would be opened for people living in their vehicles. He’s also argued that the city cold weather shelters should grow as well.

The city now houses about 2,000 people a night.

He proposed doubling the $145 million Seattle Housing Levy, approved by voters in 2009 and due to expire at the end of 2016 – a proposal that is unlikely to be popular among Seattle homeowners who pay property taxes.

The witness said the shooting is bad news for residents because the city will feel compelled to clear out The Jungle.

No other details of the shooting and how it occurred were immediately available.

The scene is still an active crime scene and police have told reporters that the area is still not safe.
