An 8-year-old girl and a 76-year-old woman both had minor injuries after they were grazed by bullets at Seattle’s Be’er Sheva Park on Thursday.

Seattle police were called to the park, located on 55th Ave. S in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood, around 7 p.m., for reports of shots fired.

During the course of the investigation, police learned that a suspect fired multiple shots from a vehicle on Seward Park Ave S before driving off.

“A vehicle either stopped or was traveling on Seward Park Avenue South and started firing multiple gunshots into the park,” SPD Detective Brian Pritchard said.



No arrests were made.

During the shooting, a bullet grazed the 8-year-old girl’s jaw. The 76-year-old woman took herself to a nearby fire station and then Harborview Medical Center for aid.

“When officers arrived, they found an 8-year-old girl with a graze wound to the jaw area,” Pritchard added. “The second victim was a 76-year-old woman, she was also struck by gunfire.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD Violent Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
