A pregnant 34-year-old woman and her unborn child died Tuesday after the woman and a 37-year-old man were shot in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Seattle police officers from the west precinct responded to Fourth Avenue and Lenora Street around 11 a.m. for reports of shots fired, according to Assistant Chief Tom Mahaffey with the Seattle Police Department.

Police found the 37-year-old man and the 34-year-old woman near the intersection. Officers gave them first aid until the Seattle Fire Department arrived. With the help of witnesses, officers found the suspect a short distance away, Mahaffey said. Officers also recovered a firearm. The man and woman were taken to Harborview Medical Center. The woman died. The man is in stable condition, according to the Seattle Fire Department.

Members of the Seattle Police Department’s crime scene investigation unit are on the scene of the shooting. “This was a tragic and senseless act. We’re grateful that Seattle Police were able to quickly apprehend a suspect and further violence was avoided. People deserve to feel safe in the heart of our city – we can’t accept the alternative.” A spokesperson for the Downtown Seattle Association said.

Who is currently working on the case?

Homicide detectives are the lead investigators on the case, Mahaffey said.

The investigation is active and ongoing, and Mahaffey said police are still gathering details about what happened. Mayor Bruce Harrell addressed the shooting during a news conference regarding the city’s housing levy. “I do want to recognize that within the last several hours, we suffered a tragedy downtown, on the streets of downtown Seattle,” said Harrell.

“We don’t know what motivated it. We do have the suspect. We do believe at this point, I think life was lost and it’s very sad,” Mayor Harrell said. The SPD has recorded 194 shootings or reports of shots fired so far this year, according to its online crime dashboard, which is current through April. There were more than 700 such incidents citywide last year, according to the agency.
