SEATAC, Wash. - Police are looking for several suspects who fled after a deadly shooting Friday morning at a SeaTac motel.
The drama unfolded at about 3 a.m. Friday in the 20600 block of Military Road in SeaTac when dozens of people staying at a Motel 6 there awoke to the sound of gunfire.
Deputies rushed to the scene after receiving 911 calls about the shooting, said Sgt. Cindi West of the King County Sheriff's Office.
Witnesses told police that a man had pulled up to the motel in a white SUV and had gone to a motel room in the complex. The man appeared to try to enter the room with a key card, but when the door did not open he knocked on the door and was let into the room.
Within a few minutes an argument was heard and then a gunshot. The victim stumbled out of the room and collapsed.
Witnesses said two men and two women fled the room with their faces partially covered by shirts. They were seen speeding away in a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a BMW, West said.
One witness, James Crosby, told KOMO News that he was terrified by the violence.
"It's crazy. I've stayed in motels virtually all over this country. This is the closest I've ever been to anything like this," he said.
West said deputies don't know yet what led up to the shooting. The identity of the victim has not been released.
King County sheriff’s detectives are investigating the case and attempting to track the suspects

this stretch of seatac they are talking about is pretty much the hood of seatac in a 4 block radius you can find drugs from drug dealers, your shootings from the little gang banger thugs that walk the streets, homeless people begging for money,  and prostitues working there corners.. why the hell did i move here again....just the other day seen some crackhead woman (without a shirt on her face) walking down the street drunk as hell lifting her dress showing herself to the passing traffic...i agree with one of the other comments police cant be everywhere they should allow civilians that see this crap or that see a crime committed take care of these low lifes right then and there. and then deport them to some distant country just drop them off there and say good luck!!!! it will keep the population down in the prison system and they can fight amongs themselves!!!!
Wow, man subject of manhunt captured in SEATAC, couple nabbed in SEATAC named suspects in teacher's murder, and now 4 suspects sought after hotel shooting in SEATAC. Hmmmm ... can anyone guess where the ghetto is in Seattle?
Once again I am completely amazed at the ignorance and judgemental people posting about this. he was not a bank robber or a gang member . None of you have any idea why he was there but yet you speculate and pass judgment..disgusting ! funny also alot of atuomatically assume the race when it was never stated also very sad ! He was not into cocaine or meth sorry to dissappoint you all . He was a loving caring friend,son,uncle,cousin and most importantly he had tremendous love for all of his kids ! He was a fantastic father ! He also would of had more respect for all you who posted negatively without knowledge,he would not have passed judgement on any of you . he was a far far better person than any of you . He will be deeply missed by many which is more than I can say for some of you !
I wonder if the suspect is the one that rented the room... Hopefully the police checked into who rented the room and that can produce a lead.
Wasn't there a dark colored BMW used in a shooting a month or so ago in south seattle against some kid in a honda civic? and another story where there was a shooting and grey bmw?

Round up the usual suspects.

Welcome to Washington's Sanctuary cities. The birthplace of the "hug a thug" program and also where a violent homeless drunk may get a city Holiday. Please keep your seat belts on at all times because all the liberal dung being slung on this side of the state will make for a bumpy ride. Thank you. Please come again!
 @cawlnaduckaduck Riiiight.. because #%#@ like this NEVER happens in republican-run territories...Seriously.. do you read your BS before you post and wonder just how stupid it is or do you wait for the world to shine a spotlight on your ignorance?Â
Sorry, you didn't get your hug! :(
At least in Detroit it always happens in the city limits!
More Puget Sound shootings!!
Shock! Surprise! But its such a high class part of town!!!!
 @The WA Mama Actually, that Motel 6 is in a fairly sedate part of Sea-Tac on Military just west of I-5. Far away from International Boulevard. On the other hand, it's still Sea-Tac...

 @The WA Mama Correction:East of I-5. Can we get an edit button so I don't have to Copy/Delete and repost?
all in the name of the crack cocaine......or meth. Â Â Â
Why do shooters have nice vehicles?
@Hehateme Selling drugs is a high profit occupation?
Because they have really good jobs (i.e. doctors, nurses, scientists, bankers, managers, etc.). ......*sarcasm*
Â
Witnesses said two men and two women fled the room with their faces partially covered by shirts.
Â
Everybody be on the look-out for those four.
 @Jon H Yeah, well, if their faces were "partially covered" by shirts, then that means that their faces were also "partially UNCOVERED" as well, so that logically means that there is at least a "PARTIAL description" of them... so, where is it?
The government should issue everyone fully automatic weaponsand unlimited amo, see a crime, well stop it yourself! No penalty. Thank you, drive thru, no fries!
If it's SeaTac, then it's meth.

It's the Shooting Channel.
many years ago I worked at that motel 6 it had quite a few problems back then with crazy people. I remember cleaning the rooms out and finding all kinds of bad crap. only time it didn't have nearly the issues. Is when they got managers that cared about the employee's safety and didn't let locals rent rooms.

Motel Six Shooter.
Wasn't there a white SUV involved in that takeover bank robbery yesterday?
@VikingMom How many white SUVs are out there tho? I count 4 just in my neighborhood alone.
@VikingMom came here to say that. seems a coincidence.
Â
 @VikingMom Could be. Two black males and two black females are believed to have left the motel in a black BMV vehicle, King County Sheriff's deputies said.
 @StringerJoe  @VikingMom You aren't allowed to say that here!Â
Because, of course, there's no statistical different in morality, behavior, financial status or intellectual prodigy between races. So, since the king's new clothes are non-existent, but everyone's too afraid to say so, let's all pander to political correctness and let the Trojan Horse of liberalism remain among us. We'll never suspect it's real intentions, will we?
 @VikingMom Good call, that was my first thought when I read that too.
 @VikingMom There was, maybe someone wanted a bigger cut?
Sounds like wimpy little gang bangers that cant use there fists again...
