(( It's the latest attack in what's become an all too familiar scene. A man wearing camouflage clothing walked into a commercial building and opened fire. I was the first person to call 911, but this is the kind of thing that happens to someone else. We thought it was a joke at first, because this is the last thing you think of Police immediately conducted a massive search for the suspect going door to door and using guard dogs. Authorities also locked down several schools in the area north of downtown Seattle as the suspect remained at large. Pam McCammon, Police Spokesperson Apparently he just walked into the back of an office, and just started shooting. At this time we don't believe he even said anything, he just started shooting.
Witnesses say they heard seven to nine shots as the gunman opened fire at the Northlake Shipyard building. Police say they're baffled about a motive for the shootings. Witnesses on the scene say they've never met the gunman before. Tricia Manning-Smith for CBS News Seattle.))
