“It’s becoming so prevalent and now it’s coming home in a relatively safe neighborhood. They said they tried to save her but tragically she’d become the second person killed by gunfire in Seattle this weekend. Police found a woman shot in a home on 800 Lakeside Avenue South. The second shooting happened early Saturday, around 5 a.m. “At least in my community I talk with a bunch of people who have this kind of feeling they’re not safe, so I look forward to what’s going to change this,” said Ayush. That shooting was the first of three deadly shootings Seattle police would see Friday into Saturday. “I’ll be extra cautious and I would like to leave this place as soon as I can,” said Ayush after he learned he was about to walk past where that man died. He takes another step before ultimately falling, sadly dying before police showed up seconds later. It’s hard to see in the footage but he and the driver fight, and the man then falls back. He walks up to a dark-colored SUV’s driver-side window. Security footage from that gas station shows a man dressed in dark clothes with a white cloth on his shoulder. We caught Ayush and his friend as they were walking down South Lander Street towards 4th Avenue South, past the Shell Gas station. “It’s a little bit alarming whatever we’re seeing and hearing in Seattle in general,” said Seattle resident Ayush Kair. The first shooting also happened in the eyesight of where tens of thousands of baseball fans are headed, as T-Mobile park can be seen from the gas station where the man was killed. Their quick response is possibly part of the extra patrols for All-Star Week that began this weekend. It also shows police showing up seconds after a man falls to the ground. Security footage from the 4th Avenue South and South Lander gas station shows a busy parking lot around 11:30 p.m. The first shooting happened at a gas station Friday night. Seattle sees a violent start to All-Star Week as three people were shot and killed within 12 hours.
