Seattle, Washington — Shooting Near Church Event

A shooting near a church event near Seattle, Washington, last Thursday evening left a 28-year-old male attendee dead, Church Leaders reported. The victim, whose name has not been released, was killed after attending a young adult dinner at Pursuit Church at the University of Washington. He leaves behind a wife and child, who were also in attendance at the event with him.

"While the young adults were gathered for a ministry function, there was a shooting. And a young man who has a wife and a child was tragically killed," Russell Johnson, the pastor of Pursuit Church, said in a post on social media.
