KENT, Wash. -- Ten people were hurt in Kent when shots rang out at a car show and concert late Saturday afternoon.

KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Alison Grande said the shooting occurred when a fight broke out at the La Raza Lowrider Show and Concert.

Grande said when the gunfire erupted in the parking lot of a strip mall, where the event was being held, cars tore out of the parking lot, and people scattered.
The victims are at area hospitals, and police from Des Moines, Kent and the King County Sheriff's Office are trying to piece together the identity of the victims, which hospitals they are at, who fired the shots and the events that led up to the shooting.
Early reports said six had been shot, then eight, and then 10 because some of the victims were taken to hospitals by friends and had not been located by police.
Gang investigators are also at the scene, and some businesses have been asked to close.
A Burger King, Goodwill thrift store, Starbucks and a Pizza Hut are just a few of the businesses in the busy area.

I see your 8 and raise you 1


ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A suspect fired several shots from a handgun after fighting erupted among teenagers at a birthday party at a Central Florida home, leaving nine people wounded, authorities said Sunday.

After the shooting, a suspect left the house party where some 30 teenagers had gathered near Apopka, authorities said, adding a gray SUV carrying that person was stopped afterward and the person was undergoing questioning.

Orange County Sheriff's Cpl. Susan Soto, speaking with The Associated Press, said she had no further information on the person and whether charges were expected. She added of the suspect: "He was identified by other witnesses and it is believed he was the only shooter."

Soto said authorities were called minutes before 11 p.m.

Saturday to the home and found six people with gunshot wounds who had to be taken to hospitals. She said three others went on their own to seek medical treatment for injuries.

It wasn't clear if all the wounded had gunshot wounds and Soto said an investigation was seeking to determine exactly what had happened. "There was an argument and it's believed that one of the people in the party drew a handgun and fired multiple shots" inside the home, said Soto, reading from a statement.

Soto said two of the wounded required surgery and one of them, a female, had potentially life-threatening injuries. She declined to identify the victims by name or elaborate on their conditions.

Soto said those at the party were between 15 and 19 years of age.

lol you always know its going to be some shit in seattle / surrounding areas after a stretch of colder / rainy weather in the summer. soon as that shit gets sunny again some bullshit happens


im not saying seattle / surrounding areas are gangster as fuck or anything, but it just seems to be a pattern with whatever crime does happen
and i read an article saying it was two groups of ppl " mean muggin each other" before the shooting started, and may have been inflamed by the appearances of gangster rappers from southern california?
what rappers were there?
