From staff reports:

A 47-year-old man was shot and seriously wounded just before 11 p.m. July 3 in the 4900 block of S. 284th Place. The man was living with his parents, who are both in their 70s.

The suspects came into the house through an open front door. The door was open due to the warm weather.

The two masked men went to a back bedroom were the victim was and he was "shot shortly thereafter," according to a news release. The parents were not injured.

Although the motive is unclear, detectives do not believe it was a random incident.

The intruders are described as black males, over 6 feet tall and thin. Both had handguns. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. There have been no arrests yet
