The FBI said a Wells Fargo Bank at California Avenue and Admiral Way was robbed by a man at 10:10 a.m. Tuesday.

I knew somwething BIG was happening when I saw all THREE helicopters hovering over downtown for such a long time.
You’re in the news!
OMG a gun crime took place in Seattle? Wow must be pissed about all the Starbucks closings.... /sarc
But... but, aren’t there gun bans in Seattle? I thought it was a hate free zone? What’s going on?!?
It’s too bad the police didn’t react to election robbery the same way.
Income redistribution.
You might be thinking of another city. Seattle, like the rest of Washington state, is shall-issue when it comes to CCW permits. There is no gun ban of any sort.
Well, I’ll tell what, once the Maaaayooorrr get’s his anti everywhere gun laws in place, this will never happen again. Nope, never, ever again.
Yay!
Last word we got the perp is in critical condition at Harborview. He’s having a very bad day.
Gun control is killing the armed perp with the first shot.
THe rest is wasted ammo.
And the SOB is still alive.
Really? That’s presently surprising. I just figured it being Seattle and all it would have some sort of really strict gun laws.
presently = pleasantly
haha
From the angle they had to shoot at, I’m surprised they hit him at all. Only four officers fired, and it wasn’t sustained fire. Just two separate volleys that blew out the windows and sent the lunchtime office workers scrambling for cover.
They had the car pinned down between 1st and 2nd streets, with office buildings all around. Good job by the Seattle PD to end it quickly.
My husband and I just got our concealed carry permits. I was surprised that there wan't even an interview, just fingerprints and a quick background check. Oh, and $55.
