A Belltown woman is recovering after a bullet grazed the back of her head in a shooting early Saturday morning.
Seattle Police responded near the intersection of Vine Street and 2nd Avenue around 1:30 a.m. after receiving reports of a woman shot in Belltown.
When officer’s arrived they found a 34-year-old woman with a wound that officers believed to be “a grazing gunshot wound to the back of the head,” Seattle police reports.
According to the shooting victim, she was sitting in the passenger seat of her friend’s car when she heard a loud pop. After hearing the gunshot, she says she immediately began to bleed from the back of the head.
The woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
Neither the woman nor the friend she was with were able to say where the bullet came from, but officers found a possible bullet entry point in their preliminary investigation. Officers found a possible entry point in a rear window of the car and a potential bullet fragment hole in the passenger side headrest.
Seattle police says that detectives will continue to investigate this shooting.
