The chaotic scene at Henderson and Rainier Avenue, 100 yards from Rainier Beach High School.

RAINIER BEACH — Two teens are dead outside Rainier Beach High School this afternoon in what law enforcement sources say is a targeted gangland killing.

Regardless, it’s another shocking episode of tragedy and violence that further underscores the complete failures of both Seattle Public Schools, the King County Department of Community and Health Services (DCHS) and the corrupt youth public safety orgs running rampant at the expense of youth in South Seattle.

Today’s tragedy means that three teens have been shot to death on or adjacent to the Seattle high schools from which police were removed and replaced with local non-profits.

The Shooting

Around 4:00 pm today, two teams were shot to death near a Metro bus, at the intersection of Henderson and Rainer Ave, just 100 yards from RBHS.

Sources say the two victims were affiliated with a prominent Seattle Gangster Disciples (GD) set, DWTC (Down With the Crew). One victim also carried affiliations with GGG (Grimey Gangsta Gorilla), a prominent GD subset.

Witnesses say two volleys of gunfire occurred in front of a Metro bus.

Seattle Police Department confirms the shooting occurred outside the bus.

At a 6:00 pm update, SPD Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis provided the following information:

  • 2 young male victims (won’t say age)

  • No suspect in custody

  • Believe it was a targeted shooting

  • Asking for witnesses to come forward,

206-233-5000.

at Seattle Public Schools, this is best represented by the two non profits they contracted with to replace police (too racist) at SPS high schools: Community Pathways and SE Network Safety Net. These loosely constructed orgs were little more than shells for accepting grant cash

Chaotic Scene Unfolds

As of 4:45 pm, hundreds of students milled around the tarp-covered bodies as police struggled to control the scene.

One officer was injured in a chaotic melee at the scene and left on a stretcher.

The shooting occurred after school let out, within sight of Rainier Beach High School - from which Seattle Public Schools removed police from campus and initially replaced them with an org run by the RBHS principal’s sister, Marty Jackson.
