SEATTLE -- Police are intensifying their search for a mass shooting suspect who wounded five peoplein downtown Settle, and on Friday they publicly named him and released his photo.

Alrick Hollingsworth, 18, is believed to have gotten into an argument with another man near the corner of 3rd Ave and Pine Street. As the two started walking away from each other, investigators said Hollingsworth turned back, pulled out a gun, and started shooting into the crowd.

“I’m mad that someone would do that,” said Tosia Klincewicz, who had a bullet tear through her leg. “It went through the thigh and missed the bone and all the major arteries."

Hollingsworth is still on the run, but prosecutors have already charged him with five counts of felony assault. Sources at Seattle police also believe Hollingsworth shot up a car on Olive Way on Friday. No one was hurt.

Even with her life turned upside down, Klincewicz is keeping her anger in check. While she calls the shooting “reckless,” she still feels safe in Seattle. However, she realizes there are entire communities that suffer street violence as a sad fact of their daily lives.

“I was just standing at the bus stop, and like, i wasn't singled out for this at all,” Klincewicz said. “There are people who live in fear all of the time."
