Drive-By Shooting in Little Saigon Leaves One Man Injured
View at XBreaking
A shooting in Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood sent people running for cover late Friday afternoon. Witnesses say a White male unloaded several shots from a car window, targeting another man near the corner of the problematic 12th Ave & Jackson St intersection.
Seattle Ranks Fourth Worst for Crime in Nation
The victim was shot in the arm but is expected to survive.
We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I were doing outreach when the commotion broke out.
This violence is being fueled by drugs and is another reason why Seattle ranks fourth worst in the nation for total crime, nearly triple the national average.
Out-of-Touch Leaders
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has lost control of public safety in this predominantly Asian American neighborhood. No statement or mention of this incident by his office.
Meanwhile Katie Wilson is trying to be the city’s next mayor. Instead of showing up to these incidents in Chinatown-ID and seizing the moment, she appears to be ignoring the public safety issues here as well.
In other words, Wilson and Harrell both remain out of touch with the ongoing issues in the CID.
