The (SPD) is investigating a West Seattle shooting that left a 57-year-old woman dead. The person is known to be a UW Medical School grad, a Qanon member, an election denier and she was live streaming at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

SPD said 911 calls started coming in just after 1 p.m. Tuesday, reporting multiple shots fire in the 4400 block of Southwest Hudson Street, just a block and a half west of California Avenue Southwest.

“I just heard two really, really loud gunshots,” neighbor Ellen Macom told ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Newsradio. “Sounded very close. I hoped it was construction noise or something in the neighborhood, but I did wonder if it was gunshots.”

When officers arrived, they found the woman dead from multiple gunshot wounds. They say three people were involved including the deceased.

“CSI is going to come out and they’re going to do their thing,” SPD Detective Brian Pritchard told ³ÉÈËXÕ¾ Newsradio. “If they’re going to take prints, there’s a lot of things that have to be done before this scene is actually cleared up, because they’re going to be here for a while.”

That means the 4400 block of Southwest Hudson Street is blocked off with crime scene tape and is inaccessible.
