Officials release video of police shooting armed suspect in Seattle’s Squire Park neighborhood
Officials released bodycam video Monday showing what led to an officer shooting a man last week who Seattle police said was shooting a rifle inside an apartment complex in the city’s Squire Park neighborhood.
According to Seattle Police Department (SPD) Detective Valerie Carson, officers responded to the 1400 block of East Yesler Way around 4:35 a.m. on Friday after receiving reports of shots fired.
When officers arrived, they heard gunshots and people screaming. Responding officers entered the apartment complex and contacted a suspect armed with a rifle. One officer fired and struck the suspect, according to Seattle police.
The suspect then entered an apartment unit and would not come out. Carson said officers were able to maintain a dialog with the suspect, and he eventually surrendered.
The suspect was arrested and taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with non-life-threatening injuries.
The SPD told KING 5 crews the area was secure by 6:20 a.m. The public was asked to stay out of the area during the investigation.
The Seattle Department of Transportation tweeted at 5:43 a.m. that all eastbound and westbound lanes of East Yesler Way were blocked between 12th Avenue South and 17th Avenue South due to police activity. All lanes reopened to traffic by 8:10 a.m.
No shooting victims were located in the apartment complex, but police said officers found “several apartment units” with ballistic damage.
The Force Investigation Team is investigating the shooting. The Office of Police Accountability and the Office of Inspector General responded to the scene.
