Bystander shoots gunman near Pike Place Market

Seattle Police Department Chief Shon Barnes provided an update at the scene of a shooting outside a hotel near Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle Wednesday night. Barnes said a “private citizen” shot a suspect who shot two people near 1st Avenue and Union Street around 10 p.m.

Investigators said the bystander is licensed to carry a firearm and “intervened and shot the suspect” after an altercation where the suspect shot two people.

Seattle police and medics swarmed the area outside the Four Seasons Hotel after the shootings.

"Officers arrived within two minutes and began life-saving measures. Two of our officers are also qualified to be EMT, which we think really contributed to the outcome we see,” Barnes said.

Investigators said the shootings stemmed from an argument between three people, and during that argument, one man shot two victims. That's when a bystander with a concealed weapons permit shot the gunman, according to SPD. Police said the bystander was not involved in the argument.

Both victims, boys 17 and 18 years old, had serious injuries. The suspect -- a young man -- was critically injured. All three were taken to Harborview, where the suspect later died, police and fire officials reported.

On Thursday morning, one victim had been discharged and the other remained in the hospital in satisfactory condition, hospital spokesperson Susan Gregg said.
