SEATTLE — Two men were injured in a shooting in Seattle’s Rainier Valley late Wednesday night after an apparent altercation on a Metro bus.
Seattle police said officers responded around 10 p.m. to reports of a shooting near Rainier Avenue South and South Holden Street.
Officers found a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his wrist and a 33-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg. Officers provided aid until Seattle Fire Department crews arrived.
