One person has been taken into custody. Police have taken one person into custody but there may be more suspects in or around the building. Police have their weapons pointed toward the second floor of the building. The three victims are believed to be women. One was reportedly shot in the abdomen and another was shot in the arm. They are being taken to Harborview Medical Center. The incident began around 4 p.m. Part of Third Avenue and Second Avenue near Lenora have been closed to traffic. Police are urging people to stay away from the area. At least three people were seen emerging from the building, which has two or three stories, escorted by police.

This never ending circle of dead is why there will never be peace in the mideast. In the coming years Arab oil will align with China who will arm them to the teeth with the latest weapons. In the same style that the US and Russia used in years past to field test their weapons the Chinese will use the Arabs against Israel and the Kurds and Iran vs Iraq/Saudia Arabia as proving grounds. As a classic example the Russians gave the Syrians their new planes to fly and use against Israel as desired. One new plane was discovered to have a fatal flaw that occurred when the fuel level got low the center of gravity of the plane moved behind the wings and plane suddenly stood straight up and then began rolling head over heels. This was fatal as it happened when trying to land low on fuel. The Russians never had this happen to them, just their client state. Israel has only one ally in the world and when the balance of power shifts to China then they will be exterminated. They'll launch all their nuclear weapons on their way out and nuclear winter will begin.
