Seattle police Capt. Chris Fowler, during a media briefing, said a gunman walked into SPU’s Otto Miller Hall and shot three people in the foyer with a shotgun. As the gunman was reloading, a student building monitor grabbed or tackled the gunman and other students then jumped him. They held him until police arrived.
Seattle Storm players, coaching staff and male practice players were part of the campus lockdown at Seattle Pacific University on Thursday. The team’s practice court is in the basement of Royal Brougham Pavilion, which is across the street from the site of shooting.
Storm coach Brian Agler wrapped practice later than normal; at about 2:45 p.m. Guard Sue Bird left to join a live chat with The Seattle Times at the team’s headquarters in Magnolia, and the chat was cut short after she learned of the shootings. Forward Camille Little had a public appearance and is believed to have left quickly. But majority of her teammates, coaches and male practice players were still in the facility showering and preparing to leave.
Storm associate head coach Jenny Bouce, reached by cellphone, confirmed the lockdown but was still searching to see where everyone was specifically in the building. The Storm has a satellite office space upstairs in gym and a locker room below with the practice court.
Harborview Medical Center reports a young adult male who arrived in critical condition has died. A 20-year-old female in critical condition is undergoing surgery. A 24-year-old male is in satisfactory condition. A 22-year-old male is in satisfactory condition.

My heart goes out to all the victims and their families and friends. I lived in the quiet, peaceful Magnolia neighborhood for many years so this news devastates me. The student building monitor who pepper sprayed and tackled the gunman is a true hero.
