Four people shot, one fatally, near Seattle’s Alki Beach
SEATTLE — One man was killed, and three other people were hurt in a shooting near Alki Beach Monday night.
Seattle police arrived just outside Spud Fish & Chips on Alki Avenue Southwest shortly before midnight and found three men and one woman with gunshot wounds. A citizen was performing CPR on a man when officers arrived. Police took over, trying to save the man, but he died at the scene. Two of the other victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center.
Police said the shooting stemmed from an argument between two groups of people who did not know one another. “There were two groups in an argument, and from that argument there were multiple shots that were fired,” Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said.
Police are looking for a suspect. READ MORE: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/four-people-shot-one-fatally-near-seattles-alki-beach/6BAGJFS775GVJCJD7CULOKFA3M/

In the early morning hours on Sunday, June 13, 2021 Officer Alexandra “Lexi” Harris took police action when she assisted motorists involved in a multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 5 in Seattle. While out of her car rendering assistance, Lexi was tragically struck by another passing motorist and killed.
Seattle Police Guild President Mike Solan said, “Seattle lost an incredible police officer on Sunday morning. Moreover, humanity lost a piece of its foundation as her spirit was called for another service. She exemplified how a public safety peace officer should conduct themselves. This is a terrible loss to our family and we will never forget her sacrifice, courage, strength and spirit. She was known as our Wonder Woman. It was an honor and privilege to have know her.”
