Drive By Shooting Kills Security Worker at Seattle Nightclub

A 36-year-old security worker was killed and a 27-year-old woman was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting at a South Seattle nightclub around 1 a.m., according to the Seattle Police Department. The shooting happened when a vehicle entered the club parking lot and gunfire was fired.

Police responding to the incident found the man dead at the nightclub and the woman with a gunshot wound to her leg, according to the department. The injured woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition.

"Through the investigation and surveillance footage, officers determined that a vehicle had driven into the parking lot of the club and the driver had fired multiple gunshots from the vehicle. The suspected vehicle then left the club and was found fully engulfed in flames less than an hour later in nearby South Seattle." said the Seattle Police Department in its police blotter.

The Seattle Police Department said homicide detectives are investigating the shooting. The agency has not released information about possible suspects or a motive.

According to FOX 13 Seattle, surveillance review showed the vehicle left the scene before it was later found burned in South Seattle. An employee said bullets penetrated the club's outer walls and landed near an area where workers were preparing for shifts.

The employee told FOX 13 Seattle that the injured woman worked at Kittens Cabaret and was shot in the knee while sitting in a locker room. The employee said the security worker had only started working at the club two to three months earlier.

Police are seeking information and video footage related to the shooting through the Seattle Police Department's Violent Crimes Tip Line. The investigation remains active.
