Three men were shot outside the Cultura nightclub early Monday morning in Capitol Hill, with one victim in critical condition.

At approximately 1:10 a.m., the Seattle Police Department (SPD) responded to reports of a shooting in the 900 block of E. Pike Street, SPD announced.

As officers arrived, they found three men suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers administered medical aid until the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived.

SFD later transported all three victims to Harborview Medical Center, with two in serious condition and the other in critical condition.

Altercation with security leads to Capitol Hill nightclub shooting

The shooting followed an altercation involving three men and the nightclub security. The men were reportedly leaving the scene when at least one suspect pulled out a handgun and fired multiple shots towards the club, which struck the three victims.

SPD noted that investigators are searching for two to three suspects who are believed to have a connection to the shooting, though no suspect descriptions have been released, according to KING 5.

The SPD Gun Violence Reduction Unit is currently investigating the events preceding the shooting.

Traffic was temporarily blocked by emergency vehicles on E. Pike Street, between Broadway and 10th Avenue, as Seattle Police and Seattle Fire were on the scene. The roadway was eventually opened up for traffic.

Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
