Westside Seattle news partner Q13 Fox News reports that a man was driving on Highway 509 in South Seattle Sunday night and was shot in the face by an unknown assailant. He is in critical condition at Harborview Hospital.
The Washington State Patrol said the shooting happened around 8:40 p.m. when someone in one vehicle shot at another, hitting the driver and causing him to swerve and crash into the Jersey barrier. The passenger of the vehicle was not injured.
That suspect vehicle drove away.
Southbound lanes of SR 509 at Cloverdale Street were closed for about seven hours during the shooting investigation.
WSP has not released any information about a suspect or a vehicle description.
There is no apparent connection between this shooting and the 11 shootings that took place on HWY 509 last year according to the WSP.

Crosscut, the popular reader-supported, on-line Northwest news site, has announced that it is eliminating readers' comments as of the end of 2019. The Crosscut no-comment decision was announced Dec. 19 by Anne Christnovich, the site's audience engagement editor. She wrote that comment threads "no longer support our mission to foster communities that participate in civic discourse."
Christnovich said the decision was taken over concern that comment sections were rife with "bigotry, threats of violence and racist attacks." She added that the need to review comments was a heavy responsibility for a three-member audience engagement staff. Furthermore analysis found that of the 17,400 posts received in the past year, 45 percent came from just 13 people.

According to the novel’s fictional premise, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt created a covert unit to aid in the British prosecution of the war in 1939. The unit was a R.O.O.R.D. unit, the acronym standing for “ Reconnoitering, Observation, Opposition Resources, Destruction.” It was funded by America and staffed by Americans recruited to serve under Churchill’s direction. The Americans soon redefined the ROORD. acronym to stand for The Royal Order of Rubber Ducks. They named their seven B-25 Mitchell aircraft accordingly -- for example, Rubber Ducky, Duck Butt, Duck and Cover, etc. Only two of the planes would survive the war.
