Seattle’s Central District has been shaken by back-to-back shootings, prompting concerned parents and community members to demand increased safety measures.Exactly one week ago, a Garfield High School student was shot while waiting at a bus stop. Hours later, and just blocks away, a mother of four was tragically gunned down while walking on the sidewalk."It’s been exactly one week," said parent Karen Emmerman Mazner.
Police said that shooting happened around 8 p.m. on 23rd Ave. S. and S. Main St. It’s still unclear what led to that shooting.Earlier this week, family members of Eboni Walker told FOX 13 Seattle she was "at the wrong place at the wrong time."Both shootings prompted Seattle Police to temporarily add two additional patrols to the area, with one stationed directly on campus, but come Friday, those patrols are set to leave due to the department's limited staffing numbers.
