Jan. 1—Seattle police are investigating after a man with gunshot wounds was dropped off at a Seattle fire station in Rainier Valley on Wednesday night.

Officers were called to the intersection of South Cloverdale Street and Rainier Avenue South around 11:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting, police said in a statement Thursday. While police were on their way, Seattle fire officials reported someone, later identified as a 20-year-old man, had been dropped off at Fire Station 28, about 1 1/2 miles north on Rainier.

The driver who brought the man to the fire station left shortly after, police said.
