SEATTLE (AP) — Police say a man fatally shot a man who tried to rob him in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle early Tuesday. The Seattle Police Department says police were sent to investigate a shooting and found a man on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. The Seattle Times reports Interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said Tuesday that Seattle police have responded to 100 more cases of gunfire this year than this time last year.
