Seattle Police have locked down the intersection at 23rd and Union in the Central District.

As many as a dozen shots may have been fired in the area.

Police have apparently recovered a gun, taken two people in to custody and are interviewing witnesses in the area.

More info coming.

Update: Witnesses report seeing a police chase near the scene of the shooting.

At least one person has been taken to Harborview.

There also appears to be a major police incident near Rainier and Letitia—I'm told there are about 10 squad cars on scene—but the two events may be unrelated.

Update 2: The two incidents were in fact related!

A man standing near 23rd and Union was shot in the leg around 9:30 tonight after he apparently got into an argument with two men in a car.

The men in the car fled southbound and crashed into another parked car several miles away near Rainier and Letitia. Both men are in custody.
