Massive Firefight Erupts in One of the Nation’s Most Liberal Cities

A massive firefight occurred early Sunday morning in one of Seattle’s most liberal neighborhoods, according to the local police department.

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) responded to calls at 2:30 a.m. Sunday that claimed multiple people were involved in a gunfight with over 40 gunshots reported in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. No individuals were injured in the incident, KIRO 7 reported.

Sunday’s incident occurred two days after Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell pledged to combat the city’s violent crime problem, KIRO 7 reported.

“The fact of the matter, we have seen an increase in violent crime,” Harrell said, according to KIRO 7. “When I see what I continue to see out here, I can’t sleep at night.”

Detectives are now working with local businesses to recover surveillance video that captured the firefight, according to SPD. (Read more from “Massive Firefight Erupts in One of the Nation’s Most Liberal Cities” HERE)
