In another incident, Seattle police are investigating a shooting that occurred early Thursday morning in the University District. The incident happened near Northeast 52nd Street and 15th Avenue Northeast before 5 a.m. When police arrived, the victim had already been taken to a nearby hospital in a private car. According to police, a possible fight at a house party spilled into the streets, leading to a suspect pulling out a gun and shooting into the crowd. A 16-year-old was shot in the knee and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene and has not been located.
Police continue to investigate all three incidents.

Delta flight from Seoul to Atlanta diverted to Seattle after report of suspicious package
SEATTLE — Delta Air Lines Flight 188, traveling from Incheon International Airport in South Korea to Atlanta, was diverted to Seattle on Monday morning after a suspicious package was reported on board.
The flight, a regularly scheduled service between Seoul-Incheon and Atlanta, diverted to Seattle around 10: 30 a.m. It was originally supposed to land in Atlanta at 5 p.m.
Delta released a statement that the diversion was initiated after reports of a “suspicious package” onboard, with the flight crew making the decision out of an abundance of caution.
After landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the plane was staged at Taxiway Tango on the airfield. Passengers were deplaned to buses while investigators assessed and swept the aircraft, and officials met the plane to conduct additional security screening.
Delta stated that no credible threat was discovered and no arrests were made. After the plane was cleared, passengers were reboarded and cleared to head to the gate and go through Customs.
Delta said it is supporting an investigation involving law enforcement, aviation regulators, and others.
