SEATTLE - At least three people were killed and three others wounded in two separate shootings minutes apart in Seattle, police said.
Police confirmed that two male victims were dead in a shooting at a North Seattle cafe at about 11 a.m.. Two more men and a woman were taken to the hospital. One had life-threatening injuries, NBC station KING5-TV reported.
The shooting occurred at the Cafe Racer in a commercial district near the sprawling University of Washington campus. Roosevelt High School, four blocks from the incident, was on lockdown as police look for a suspect.
About a half hour later, some five miles to the south, a woman was shot several times during what police say was a carjacking at a parking lot next to town hall. Police found the car, a black Mercedes SUV, and a handgun miles away in a West Seattle residential neighborhood.
Police have not identified the suspects in either incident. The shooter at the cafe was last seen running away and remains at large. The suspect is described as a 6-foot-1 white man, from 30 to 40 years old, with curly light brown hair. He was wearing a white and brown plaid shirt and dark pants. The Seattle Times reported that he had a goatee or beard.
One law enforcement source told KING5 that the shooting could be an act of domestic violence.
The suspect in the carjacking is also on the loose and is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. He was described as a white male, about 35-years old, blonde haired with a crew cut.
