The shooter shot two men and a woman. Their conditions are unknown, but a commenter on the news site <a href=\"https:\/\/westseattleblog.com\/2023\/05\/crime-watch-shooting-reported-at-26th-roxbury\/\"><i>West Seattle Blog<\/i><\/a> said one person is dead, one is in critical condition, and the third is expected to survive.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"p1\">What we do know at this point is that around 2248 hours an unknown person came into Roxbury Lanes Casino located at the 2800 block of SW Roxbury Street in Unincorporated King County and began shooting,&#8221; said King County Sgt. Eric White. &#8220;As many as three victims were reported to have sustained injuries and were transported to Harborview Hospital for their injuries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">White said the King County Major Crimes Unit detectives are on the case, and the matter remains an active investigation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shooting investigation at Roxbury Lanes Casino at the  2800 Block of SW Roxbury Street.
