SEATTLE —
A shooting occurred at a Kmart in the 13200 block of Aurora Avenue North on Saturday evening that left the manager of the store injured, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Police said the armed man entered the store at about 9:15 p.m. and confronted the manager with a handgun. He then forced the manager toward the back of the store to open a safe.
After the manager and the man struggled, the man fired his gun and shot the manager, according to Seattle police.
Another employee called 911, and North Precinct and on-duty SWAT officers arrived at the scene, said police.

According to the Seattle PD, the man was taken into custody, and the injured manager was taken to Harborview Medical Center by the Seattle Fire Department.
Once SWAT officers searched the store to make sure no other suspects or victims were there, their search was cleared.
As of late Saturday evening, police said the manager was heading into surgery. At 10:30 p.m., the manager was in stable condition.
Police said detectives arrived at the location to investigate, and the incident remains as an active and ongoing robbery investigation.
