Police are investigating after a man was shot and a woman was assaulted in a dispute Sunday evening inside an RV in Ballard.
Around 9:45 PM, police received a report of gunfire near the 4600 block of 8th Avenue Northwest. When officers arrived, a woman stepped out of a motorhome and directed police to a wounded man inside.
The 56-year-old man had been shot in the arm, and was bleeding from his head.
