Seattle gang unit investigating 2 rolling gun battles

SEATTLE — The Seattle police gang unit is heading an investigation into two  shootings in Seattle neighborhoods that police described as rolling gun battles.

Witnesses described seeing a dark green Chevy Tahoe chasing a light-colored SUV through the 23rd and Union neighborhood as passengers in both vehicles fired at each other about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night.

About 20 minutes later, a home in the north Beacon Hill area was sprayed with gunfire. Witnesses there reported hearing shots and then seeing two, large, four-door vehicles speed away.

A home was hit five times and a BMW was also struck by a bullet. Police collected 15 shell casings there.

No injuries were reported in either shooting.
