Tacoma Shooting; Seattle Shooting Reported

Seattle police established a heavy presence in the Chinatown‑International District after a late‑Monday shooting around 9:50 p.m. near 12th Avenue South and South Lane Street that left at least one person dead and another injured, and officers asked the public to avoid the area while the investigation remains active. In Tacoma, officers responded just after 3 p.m. Sunday to gunfire in the 4000 block of South Warner/Warren Street and found two adult men with gunshot wounds; one was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was hospitalized in critical condition. Investigators in Tacoma arrested a 28‑year‑old male overnight and booked him into the Pierce County Jail on second‑degree murder and first‑degree assault charges. Tacoma police said the Sunday shooting occurred two blocks from a separate incident earlier in the week in which a 12‑year‑old boy was found dead, but officials have not disclosed any confirmed connection between the incidents.
