A man wanted in connection with a shooting this morning in the Skyway area has surrendered to police.
The man walked out of an apartment at about 11:50 a.m. and surrendered to members of the King County sheriff's SWAT team. Members of the SWAT team had surrounded the man's apartment earlier in the morning.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart says residents of several nearby apartments had been evacuated.
The man was wanted in connection with a shooting this morning at the same apartment complex that sent a man with serious injuries to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The shooting happened on the 6900 block of South 123rd Street, said Urquhart. Authorities got the call around 9:15 a.m., he said.
The suspect is believed to be in his late 40s or early 50s, Urquhart said. He said a motive for the shooting was not immediately known.
Leeroy Brown, 55, who lives in a house near the apartment complex, said he heard a banging on his door shortly after 9 a.m. When he opened the door he saw a man with what appeared to be bullet wounds in his chest and leg collapsed on his stairs.
The wounded man asked Brown to summon an ambulance. Brown said it appeared that the victim knew the shooter.
"You hear and see this kind of thing every day," Brown said.
