1 dead, 3 injured in Seattle after gunfire breaks out in Ballard neighborhood

One person was killed and three others were wounded Thursday in a shooting in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, police said.

Seattle police initially said the four people were shot Thursday afternoon in two separate places but later clarified that they all were shot in Golden Gardens Park, KING-TV reported.

Seattle Fire Department officials said a man in his 40s was killed and a man in his 20s was shot and taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.

Police minutes later found a 50-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man about 2 miles away with gunshot wounds and they later determined the pair had fled the park, police and fire officials said. Both were taken to Harborview for treatment and were in stable condition, officials said.

Seattle Police Captain Lori Aagard told KOMO-TV that as of Thursday afternoon, police had limited information.

"What we do know is that there are two separate scenes," Aagard said. "It’s originating from one incident. It was not two incidents. It originated here (Golden Gardens Park) and was possibly centered around a stolen car."

Aagard also said she believes everyone involved in the shooting had been accounted for.

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni leaves partner following a nearly decadelong relationship

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni announced Friday that she is separating from her partner and the father of her young daughter after nearly a decade together.

In a statement posted on social media, Meloni said her relationship with Andrea Giambruno had ended. She said their paths had diverged "for some time." The announcement came after Giambruno, an on-air television personality, was caught on audio seemingly making lewd remarks to colleagues.

An Italian satirical news program, Striscia la Notizia, aired two nights' worth of programming on Giambruno this week, using backstage clips and audio. Striscia is a primetime program of the Mediaset broadcaster of the late Silvio Berlusconi, whose Forza Italia party is a junior partner in Meloni’s government.

This week marks the first anniversary of Meloni's government, Italy's first headed by a woman and first hard-right-led administration since the end of World War II.

Meloni, who was raised by a single mother after her father abandoned the family, and Giambruno share 7-year-old Ginevra.

Meloni had previously described Giambruno as a "fantastic" and very present father who complemented her in caring for their daughter. In her 2021 memoir "I am Giorgia," she said Giambruno wouldn’t balk if she was working and he had to step in, though she complained that he was messier than she.

In her statement, Meloni thanked Giambruno for their relationship and daughter and she would defend their friendship. "And I will defend, at all costs, a 7-year-old girl who loves her mother and loves her father, as I was unable to love mine."

She also hit back at the media coverage that preceded her announcement, blasting "all those who hoped to weaken me by hitting me at home."
