Seattle Expands Safety Measures After Shooting

Seattle’s responding with urgency after a teen was shot on Aurora Avenue North, installing temporary barriers at four key intersections as part of a broader safety push. The mayor labeled the violence “unacceptable,” ordering intensified enforcement, outreach, and traffic calming. The shooting, triggered by a passenger mishandling a gun, left the teen critically injured but alive — he drove miles before help arrived. Police face challenges with conflicting accounts and lack of cooperation. With 228 shootings this year — 53 in the North Precinct alone — residents are watching closely to see if these new measures make a real difference.
