SEATTLE -- Two people were struck by gunfire—one fatally—in a shooting Wednesday night near Rainier Avenue South and South College Street, Seattle police said.

Officers responding to multiple reports of gunfire found a deceased young female inside a vehicle. "At this time, detectives believe the vehicle was targeted in the shooting," SPD said in a news release.

A man inside the nearby Borracchini's Bakery was also hit. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

At the same time of the shooting at Rainer Avenue and College Street, police said, they received a report of gunfire at Rainier Avenue South and South Genesee Street. No victims were located at that location, but police did locate shell casings in the area.
