Following a reported shooting in SeaTac late Sunday evening, the King County Sheriff’s Office has initiated a significant investigation with emergency responders being dispatched to the scene near 16th Avenue South and South 192nd Street just before 10:30 p.m. after reports of gunfire were received
Upon arrival, deputies established a large-scale police presence, cordoning off the immediate area with crime scene tape . A temporary command post was set up at the location to coordinate the numerous police units and investigative teams processing the site through Monday morning
A key focus of the early investigation involved a black passenger vehicle found within the perimeter. Before being removed from the scene, the car was shrouded in tarps and subsequently towed away by investigators for forensic analysis
Official details regarding the outcome of the shooting remain limited as the investigation is developing. Authorities have yet to release information concerning the number of victims, the extent of any injuries, or a description of potential suspects involved in the violence.
