In the heart of the city, a shooting and a stabbing around 10 p.m. Wednesday left a teenager and a man dead. Earlier, at a Pierce County park, gunshots fired in a dispute between groups struck seven people.

It was a violent night in downtown Seattle with two deadly incidents just five blocks apart in a span of about 30 minutes.

Police said the teen shot two people before he encountered a 57-year-old man licensed to carry a firearm, who then shot the teen.
