An off-duty King County sheriff's sergeant shot and killed an attempted robbery suspect Friday night on Western Avenue just south of the Pike Place Market.
The sergeant said he witnessed a man with a gun robbing another person and intervened, said Jeff Kappel, Seattle police spokesman.

I would expect this behavior from a Scorpio, but it's not unheard of in a Leo.
Leo, symbolized by the Lion, is a Fixed Fire sign. Ruled by the Sun, Leo radiates warmth, enthusiasm, confidence and power. Very dramatic, Leos love to be the center of attention. Their magnetic personality makes it easy for them to create an impression. Like the lion, Leo is proud, dignified, courageous, fearless and strong – born leaders. This, combined with their ambition and creativity, allows them to accomplish great things. Leo can be overbearing and stubborn.
Sounds like the officer done good. Real good!
(sarc.)
Another good Democrat bites the dust.
Yup , now being dead , he will enable someone to vote twice.
"Robbing another person.." Egad, I'm sick of gender neutral language.
What I would love even more is to start seeing some of the good citizens being attacked buying guns and using them against these scum as well. Seattle has been too darn submissive with these very scary, life threatening criminals. Three cheers for the plains clothes cop!
"allegedly"
I'm getting very tired of this word. It has become the buzzword of the left leaning MSM. I supposed the Saddam was hung for what he allegedly did. And, the "freedom fighters" in Iraq are just "allegedly" murdering their own people.
Let's just keep this word under wraps for those that really deserve it, the "innocent until proven guilty".
God bless those that help protect us from ouselves.
;-)
Sixty-one years old, too. Good shooting, sarge.
All sarcasm aside, early-release felons that have subsequent parole violations in Seattle have killed 3 or 4 Seattle LEO's in the past three months.
Its time liberal judges stop letting this scum out on the street early to re-offend and kill!!
Last sentence in the Post-Intelligencer's article: "In 2002, the Sheriff's Office came under heavy criticism for its handling of the shooting of Robert Thomas Sr., a black man, by a white, off-duty sheriff's deputy."
What's the race of the officer in the current case? The race of the robber? The P-I article doesn't tell us either one.
Unless the officer in the current case is white, and the robber in the current case is black, it's difficult to see the relevance of this five-year-old event. Or are the flaming liberals at the Post-Intelligencer ("Intelligent as a Post") so bigoted that they assume all police officers are white and all criminals are black, so they don't feel a need to explicitly state the obvious?

Shocked - no posted picture of "Marty Crane"?
north of Pike Place. Haven't been there in many years, but isn't that the location of the Million Dollar Boys Club (the name of a homeless shelter)?
