Shooting at Northgate Mall

A Seattle teen was critically injured this weekend after a shooting in the parking lot of Northgate Mall. A Seattlest reader, Eli Black, was at the mall shortly after the shooting and sent us photos of the aftermath.

The 15-year-old victim was shot in the leg and the groin after a confrontation in a mall parking structure on Friday evening. Police believe the shooting stemmed from a previous argument that day in Northgate's Food Court. The gang unit of the Seattle Police Department was called to the scene to investigate any possible gang connections to the shooting. Police are still searching for the suspected shooter, whom witnesses describe as a 19- to 20-year-old man. (No, really, that's it.)
