Tribune News Service

Three people were shot, including one who was killed, in what appears to be a random shooting Wednesday afternoon in North Seattle, according to police.
A second person was killed when his car collided with a vehicle driven by the suspect, according to Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins. The suspect also was injured.
One of the wounded victims was a King County Metro bus driver, who was shot while driving his bus through the area.
None of the 12 passengers aboard the bus were hit, Metro said.

The suspect was detained by Seattle police after the shootings near Northeast 120th Street and Sand Point Way Northeast around 4pm, according to police. Police have responded to several locations in the area.
Police Chief Carmen Best said four people were shot, including one fatality. Best, who was out of town, had no other immediate information.
Harborview Medical Centre spokeswoman Susan Gregg said two victims, a man and woman, were brought to the hospital. She said both were conscious but she didn’t immediately know their conditions.

The woman, 57, was in critical condition, Scoggins said. He said a 50-year-old man was shot and killed at the scene and a 70-year-old man was killed in the collision with the suspect’s car, he said.
The suspect is also being treated at Harborview, he said.
The bus driver on the Metro Route 75 was one of the victims taken to Harborview, according to a tweet from King County Metro.

The driver hit an emergency alarm at 4.05pm, while at 33rd Avenue Northeast and Northeast 125th Street and reported he had been shot, according to Metro.
He was hit in the torso, but was able to walk to a gurney to be taken to the hospital by paramedics, according to Kenneth Price, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 58.
As gunfire broke out, the Metro driver apparently put the bus in reverse to flee from a “complicated situation” and then continue a few blocks before stopping on Northeast 125th Street.
“My understanding is, even after he had been struck by gunfire, he was able to manoeuvre the bus, to back out, and get his passengers to safety, before hitting the emergency alarm button,” said Metro spokesman Jeff Switzer.
The driver has been with Metro since 2012.

Metro doesn’t know yet why someone would have fired at the bus, Switzer said.
“We’re still gathering information. It’s still early,” said Switzer.
Camera footage from a city traffic camera showed several police cars around a Metro bus. Several bullet holes pierced the bus’ windscreen.
The Seattle Division of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting Seattle police in their investigation, as is the King County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit Police.

The Miami Herald said police in Coral Springs told the paper that a current student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in nearby Parkland had died of "apparent suicide" late Saturday, March 23, 2019. The student was not identified by the police but the Miami Herald said it was a male sophomore or second-year student. Last weekend Sydney Aiello, 19, who survived the Parkland massacre and graduated last year, killed herself reportedly out of grief and "survivor's guilt."
