Description
Ayla Mathews is recovering after she was shot near Alki Beach in Seattle on Halloween night.
Mathews and a friend were dressed up and walking her dog while playing Pokemon Go when police said the two were injured in a drive-by shooting.
Seattle police said the shooting occurred near Alki Avenue Southwest and 62nd Avenue Southwest around 10:10 p.m. that night.
Mathews was shot multiple times and has had to undergo two surgeries, but her husband said she's expected to be ok. The other victim was treated and released from the hospital.
"Obviously in a ton of pain and confused why it happened, and she asked the nurse 'why did they have to shoot me?' so many times," said her husband, Jeremiah Olson.
The couple lives in the area. Olson said he remembers hearing the gunshots.
“I started calling her and couldn't get a hold of her and you don't want to to think the worst, but I started freaking out because I knew she was out there somewhere,” Olson said.
