Dig deeper:
A Safeway security guard told him to get off her, so he got up but held onto her and called 911. It was then that police say she pulled a gun and aimed it at his head, then lowered her aim and shot his thigh, instead.
Witnesses reported the man fell to the ground and dragged her down with him, and the two fought to gain control of the gun. According to police, the suspect was reaching for the gun and said she would shoot him again.
The victim was able to wrestle the gun away, when the suspect's girlfriend came out and attacked him.
Eventually, both women got into their car and drove off, speeding past officers just as they were arriving, per the incident report.
Seattle police have not announced any arrests made in the case, and the victim is currently recovering in the hospital.
The victim set up an online fundraiser to help cover his medical bills.
