SEATTLE (AP) - Authorities say one man is in custody and three others were transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries following a stabbing at a Seattle homeless shelter.

The Seattle Police Department says officers responded to the homeless shelter in a northern part of the city at about 11:45 p.m. Monday.

Police say initial reports are that the four men began arguing inside a room and one man stabbed the other three.



Emergency responders treated the injured men at the scene, and they were taken to Harborview Medical Center.

Police say a suspect was taken into custody outside the building and has been booked into King County Jail.

Names haven’t been released.
