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.

I know a couple of country girls that might hit their significant other over the head with a beer bottle, but not a police officer.

The first thing my son did when we moved to Seattle was get his CC and a weapon. Easily done.

I lived in Philly for 10 years. I’ve seen some stuff and am not afraid of life in the big ctiy, but I was nervous as heck waiting for buses in downtown Seattle the few times I went down there. Lotsa hard core types.

No liberal should be allowed to own a gun. This becomes more clear with every passing day. The list of ownership gun bans includes, leftists, libtards, union members, homos et al, Hollywood celebs and body guards, ACLU supporters, demrats from either coasts, and obamamites. If I left any out, please feel free to add to the list.

How about answering my original question?

The poster does not want to answer your question and I think you know why. That exchange of posts tickled my funny bone. Thanks dainbramaged.

Fake news. Seattle has very strict gun laws. Can’t be true.

The weapon Damarius Butts used, old .38?

The Seattle PI has a dashboard cam video of Damarius being chased. Here
