Rapid shots?
A report of shots fired near North Seattle Community College has prompted authorities to close down all lanes of Interstate 5 in the Northgate area.
Seattle police spokeswoman Renee Witt said the report came in shortly before 10 p.m. Friday. There were no reports of injuries.
Seattle police responded to the area. Witt said they were being assisted by the Washington State Patrol.
KING-TV reports that southbound lanes were closed initially, and then the entire freeway was shut down. One resident who phoned KING said he heard what sounded like “fireworks.”
I took some classes there back in the day and lived in Seattle as recently as 2007. I hope that it’s nothing too serious.

Q13 News is talking to one guy who called police who said it sounded like a CO2 gun or BB gun. He said it did not sound like a hand gun.
King-5 calling it “very serious situation”, they got choppers up, and showed police cars with cops leaning on them and guns drawn...
Swat team present...
They get their knickers in a knot over one guy with a medium sized gun, cripes their heads would spin and they’d crap their drawers if say, 30,000 patriots really started shooting!!
OK, back to the important news. Back to 24 hr Teddy Kennedy coverage.
Put me down for ‘a string of firecrackers’ for my pick, with a massive overreaction.
I’m not sure most libs in that area would even know the difference.
