Families were welcomed back Thursday to a Central District day care hit by gunfire, now replete with a larger police presence in the neighborhood.
A Seattle Police Department mobile precinct on Oct. 19, 2023, is parked across the street from the A 4 Apple Learning Center day care, which was near the site of a drive-by shooting in Seattle's Central District, at 23rd and Jackson, on Oct. 16, 2023. The A 4 Apple Learning Center will hold a community meeting to address safety concerns near 23rd and Jackson at 4:30 p.m. with business owners, city officials and property owners. Community participation is encouraged.
A property owner told KOMO News off camera that he hears an average of two shootings on the block each month. “Around our day cares, around our school, if we can’t keep that safe then we really have a problem,” Diaz said. “That disregard, I mean, literally having kids crawl to safety — that’s just horrible. We are going to make sure that day care feels it has the resources it needs to be safe.”Children crawl to safety as gunfire erupts near day care in Seattle's Central District
