"Gang Violence" becomes "Gun Violence" and "Shooter" becomes "Trigger Puller"
"Six people were shot in Seattle during a 24-hour period and Interim Police Chief Andre Sayles made clear police are looking for the ‘trigger pullers’ who opened fire.”
The article, published by reporter AWR Hawkins, details three separate violent incidents over a single weekend in Seattle:
- Street Takeover Incident: A fight broke out at an illegal street takeover early Sunday morning, leaving one person dead and multiple others injured.
- Belltown Homicide: A woman was discovered in her vehicle with fatal gunshot wounds to her head and torso.
- Monday Shooting: An additional shooting left a 17-year-old boy dead and a 21-year-old man in critical condition.
Local Leadership Response
The phrase originated during local press updates where Chief Sayles emphasized that the department is actively hunting down known shooters within the community. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson also released a statement calling the three fatalities "incredibly tragic" and confirming that the Seattle Police Department is actively investigating the active crime scenes.
