Pregnant Seattle teen shot in stomach, loses baby
SEATTLE -- A pregnant woman who was shot in the stomach at a bus stop in Seattle has lost her baby and the suspects are still on the loose, reports CBS affiliate KIRO.
Tedra Paige, 19, had been waiting at a bus stop in the Rainier Valley with her boyfriend and cousin at about 1:45 a.m. Friday when they reportedly noticed two men slowly crossing the street.
"We were standing there talking and her baby's dad was like, 'Who's that walking all slow across the street,' and we all looked - we've been shot. I fell down and Tedra fell on top of me, and she said, 'I'm hit! I'm hit!'" said Paige's cousin, Kaliyah Farris.
The shooters ran off before the victims could get a good look.
"Nobody knows. They had on masks, they ran up...and shot, with both sets of guns," said Paige's mother-in-law, Calvina Wright.
The family was rushing Paige to the hospital, but pulled over at a gas station so paramedics could take her the rest of the way to Harborview Medical Center.
Farris said Paige has one child and was five months pregnant. Wright later said she lost her baby.
A K-9 officer attempted to track the suspects starting where officers recovered spent shell casings. Gang and homicide detectives will help with the ongoing investigation.
Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has any information is asked to call the Seattle Police Department homicide tip line at 206-233-5000.
