SEATTLE — A 59-year-old West Seattle woman is recovering at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle this morning after being shot in the chest by a gun fired from an upstairs apartment unit, police said today.

The shooting occurred about 10:30 p.m. yesterday on the 3000 block of Southwest Genesee Street. Her wounds do not appear to be life-threatening, said Seattle Police spokesman Sean Whitcomb.

A 19-year-old man who lives upstairs has been arrested and booked into King County Jail on investigation of assault. Investigators found what appeared to a bullet hole in his floor, which is her ceiling.

It's still unclear why he fired the gun, Whitcomb said.
