And more than 80 shell casings
and damaged property are left behind after gunfire erupted
in a Northgate neighborhood early yesterday morning.
And Fox 13's Shira Matsuzawa is going
to walk us through what happened
as Seattle police continue their investigation.
A bullet hole in this van,
a reminder of what happened just hours earlier.
I heard like 80 gunshots
and I thought it was going to stop, but it didn't stop.
Vanessa Leach lives nearby and called police.
Yeah, I thought they were going to come in my house.
Like, I thought they were trying
to come through my window, and I'm so scared.
At around 8.15 Saturday morning,
Seattle police say they got 911 calls about shots fired.
When officers arrived, they found more than 80 shell casings consisting
of five different calibers.
They say several cars and homes in the area were hit.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but police say several bullets flew
into the window of one home, nearly hitting one woman.
A very scary situation for people because it's like,
this is our home and it's happening right outside our door.
This woman did not want to be identified,
but she's grateful no one in her family or her friends were hurt.
Because bullets don't have names,
you could be caught in the crossfires.
Police say witnesses reported seeing
a black sedan leave the scene on 107th
and turn north onto Aurora Avenue using the real-time crime center.
Officers found a black sedan with what appeared
to be substantial bullet damage, but could not find the car.
We have a lot of gun violence going on right now.
Saturday, shooting comes as the area continues
to be plagued by violence.
Last month, neighbors shared their frustrations
to Mayor Katie Wilson during a community meeting.
I really just hope that these people understand
the damage that they do.
