(CNN) -- Five people died late Sunday in a shootout at a Seattle, Washington, apartment complex. When police officers arrived, they could still hear gunfire, authorities said. Officers spotted two men lying wounded in the parking lot and attempted to rescue them, said police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.
