   City crews cleared out a homeless camp at a park in north Seattle where   
   two people were shot and killed earlier this week. The gunman has not been   
   caught.   
      
   The Unified Care Team (UCT), which handles homelessness issues for the   
   city of Seattle, posted notices on Tuesday night for people to leave   
   Virgil Flaim Park. Neighbors said the cleanup began early Wednesday   
   morning and was completed by 9:30 a.m.   
      
   The encampment had been growing in recent weeks at the park on NE 123rd   
   Street in Lake City, according to neighbors, who routinely complained   
   about the impacts of open drug use so close to a children’s playground.   
      
   “I just hope they get the person responsible and the city starts to do   
   more about the problem with the homeless, because being in the parks and   
   kids playing and such, we just want it to be a safe environment,” said   
   Charles Hall, who lives nearby. “Homelessness is a problem, and my heart   
   goes out to the homeless people, and I pray for them every day. I just   
   don’t want this kind of violence in the neighborhood.”   
      
   The encampment had been swept before, but people returned with their tents   
   earlier this summer. The double homicide was a final straw for many   
   neighbors.   
      
   “They got rid of all the leftover trash, but the campers came back. They   
   came back in hordes,” said Chris Meyer, another neighbor. “It’s just a   
   shame to have it tainted or for people to feel unsafe in their park.   
   People need to feel safe when they’re here.”   
      
   Police said one of the shooting victims, a 40-year-old man, died at the   
   park. The other man, who was 33, died at Harborview Medical Center a short   
   time later. One weapon was recovered at the crime scene. Witnesses told   
   police they saw the suspect run south from the park shortly before the   
   shots were fired.   
      
   It’s not yet clear what led to the shooting.   
      
   A UCT spokesperson wrote in an email that outreach teams visited the   
   encampment 30 times this year to “help make connections to shelter,   
   permanent housing, and supportive services.”   
      
   Everyone contacted received at least one offer of shelter. During the   
   outreach period, trash was also routinely collected.   
      
   The spokesperson did not indicate that anyone actually accepted the help   
   being offered. Moving forward, UCT plans to work with the Seattle Police   
   Department and other organizations to determine the appropriate steps to   
   maintain the park as a safe and welcoming space for all users.

   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
