The four incidents all took place within three hours, the Seattle Police Department said in a statement.

The first happened around 1:48 a.m. in front of a bar in the Belltown area. A bar clerk reported a brawl in the bar that had moved into the street and parking lot. While responding, police heard gunshots and found a man with gunshot wounds who was pronounced dead after rescue attempts, the statement said.

At around 2:30 a.m., police responded to reports of a shooting about two miles south of Occidental Square, where they found two men with gunshot wounds. One was taken to hospital while the other was pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said. Three other victims were transported in personal vehicles from there, one of whom died in hospital from injuries, the statement said.

A woman with a non-life threatening gunshot wound to her stomach arrived at a Bellevue hospital outside of Seattle around 3:30 a.m. says liberation. The shooting took place about two miles from the second shooting in the Chinatown-International District.

The final incident happened at around 4:40 a.m. with calls to 911 reporting gunshots fired at Cal Anderson Park, the statement said. A man with gunshot wounds arrived at Harborview Medical Center and said he was shot after playing a basketball game, the statement said.

Police said detectives were investigating all separate incidents and asking anyone with information about any of the shootings to contact the crime whistleblower line.
