We're starting with breaking news from Seward Park, where a 16-year-old was shot in the abdomen last night around 10:30 PM. Seattle Police responded to reports of someone threatening another person with a gun when officers heard gunfire. They found the teenager at the park's amphitheater and carried them 100 yards to Seattle Fire Department crews, who transported the victim to Harborview Medical Center. No suspects have been arrested in connection with this incident.
