3 police officers shot in downtown Seattle

Three Seattle police officers were shot and wounded while trying to arrest robbery suspects in downtown Seattle on Thursday afternoon before one of the suspects barricaded himself in a nearby building where he was later found dead.

A male officer, who was shot in the face, was initially listed in critical condition but was upgraded to serious condition. He remains in serious condition Friday morning. A female officer, whose Kevlar vest saved her from a life-threatening gunshot wound to the chest, was treated at a hospital and released.

A third officer suffered a hand wound and was treated and released from Harborview Medical Center, police said. A fourth officer was struck by a bottle during the struggle with the robbers and was treated at the scene, police said.

One suspect, a 17-year-old girl, was arrested near the shooting scene around 2:10 p.m., about 45 minutes after the officers were shot near Madison Street and Western Avenue. The two other suspects, including the one found dead, are 19-year-old men, police said.

This was yesterday but I don't recall it being carried by any national outlet.

Anytime they do not release the names or pics of the perps, you know what that means...

Shot with what?

Doesn’t Seattle have strict ‘gun safety’ laws?

Was it in a Gun Free zone?

How many 17 year old girls do you know who would crack a police officer over the head with a beer bottle?

I don’t know any.

It’s a whole different world in the cities.

The State of Washington, in spite of the libtards in Seattle, is a “shall issue” concealed carry state. Can you say the same for where you live?

Sounds like you are saying the problem is not enough gun safety laws

Would taking away your carry permit have saved any of these cops lives?

Are you thick headed or just illiterate?
No police officers died in this incident, although one is hospitalized currently. Try reading the story once in a while.

Is it safe to assume that the Seattle Police are STRONGLY discouraged from using Deadly force, lest a round pass through the right wing Christian hatemonger, and accidentally hit an innocent freedom fighter of color?
