SEATTLE — Police are investigating a shooting Saturday morning in north Seattle where one person was grazed by a bullet, and several homes and cars were hit by gunfire. Officers responded to the area of N 107 St. and Stone Avenue N around 8:15 a.m. after receiving several reports of "a large number of shots fired," according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD). Police found over 80 shell casings from multiple different guns, including rifles and handguns. At least two nearby residents had their homes and apartments shot at. One woman was almost hit by a bullet that came into her apartment through the window, police said. Another homeowner showed KOMO News the bullet that struck the side of his house. "I was woken up by the shots. Me and my wife went to the ground and called 911," said Nathaniel Watkins, whose home was struck by bullets. Watkins told KOMO News one of the bullets came through the wall and "bounced around" his home's entryway and living room. He and other residents said these shootouts are happening more frequently and appear to be encroaching further into the neighborhoods that border Aurora Avenue N. "I call in gunshots at least on a weekly basis," Watkins explained, "but usually, I hear them over on Aurora; it sounds like." SPD confirmed there are currently no suspects in custody. Witnesses reported seeing a black sedan fleeing from the scene toward Aurora Ave. N, police said. Using Real Time Crime Center cameras, police found footage of a black sedan with what appeared to be substantial bullet damage. Officers searched for the vehicle but did not locate it, according to SPD.
