A 36-year-old man who worked security at a South Seattle nightclub was killed and a 27-year-old woman was seriously injured in a shooting shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, police said. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found the man dead in the 5800 block of Fourth Avenue South. The woman had been shot in the leg and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition, according to the Seattle Police Department. Investigators say surveillance footage showed a vehicle enter the club’s parking lot, where someone inside fired multiple shots. The vehicle left, and police found it engulfed in flames elsewhere in South Seattle less than an hour later. Seattle police homicide detectives are investigating.
