A man drove himself to the hospital overnight after he was shot twice in a robbery attempt in North Seattle.
According to Seattle  police, officers were called out to Northwest Hospital for reports of a man who arrived there with gunshot wounds just after 1 a.m.

SEATTLE — The man was conscious and breathing and was able to provide some suspect information to police. He said he had driven his Cadillac Escalade to the area of 92nd Street and Woodlawn for a marijuana deal with three  men.
