Police said they do not have a good description of the suspect. They said witnesses reported that the gunman fled on foot, then jumped into a car that sped away.

No other details were immediately released.

It is the second shooting in Pioneer Square in days. On Saturday, a man was shot and wounded in the neighborhood, but a suspect was taken into custody in that case.
