The latest spasm of deadly gun violence to hit the city worried Seattle's leaders and prompted police to consider increasing patrols in high-crime areas. Gunfire erupted late Wednesday morning at Cafe Racer, a restaurant and music venue north of the University of Washington. Two men died at the scene. A woman from the cafe died at a hospital.
Evan Hill, who lives above the building where the cafe shooting happened, said the cafe was an artists' collective and performance space.
