Police hunt for West Seattle teen stabbing suspects
Teen hurt in West Seattle stabbing, suspects still on the loose
Seattle police are investigating after a 17-year-old girl was critically injured in a stabbing Friday night. She is currently in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. Police said two teenage suspects stabbed the girl. Further details were not immediately available.
WEST SEATTLE, Wash. - A teenage girl is recovering from what Seattle police are calling a "violent" stabbing scene involving a 17-year-old girl in West Seattle over the weekend.
The backstory:
On Saturday, officers arrived at a home on 17th Avenue Southwest to find blood on the door. This is when they say they entered the property believing the suspects were still there.
The following investigation has led law enforcement to believe two other teens, one boy and one girl, fled the house just before police arrived.
Once inside, officers found a teen girl with significant blood loss and stab wounds in multiple areas of her body, according to SPD.
Paramedics provided immediate medical care before the teen was transported to Harborview Medical Center in a serious, but stable, condition.
After a judge signed a search warrant, SWAT searched the rest of the home for any suspects before learning they had fled. Investigators set up a perimeter around the property heading into the weekend to continue processing the scene.
What's next:
There was no immediate information on the motive for the stabbing and officers continue to search for the culprits.
The Source: Information for this story came from the Seattle Police Department.
