(The Center Square) - Gunshots were fired at a Seattle Community Center on Tuesday evening, right next to a park where Mayor Katie Wilson had just announced a new, expanded all-day daycare and taxpayer-funded school lunch program.
Multiple gunshots created a hole in a front door at the Yesler Terrace Community Center, according to Seattle Police.
