From another neighborhood news site:
SWAT officers have surrounded a home in the Leschi neighborhood and are apparently looking for the person of interest sought in connection with this morning’s shooting in Parkland.
The home is on E Superior Street and Erie Avenue.
K9 and negotiator units are on scene.
Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb would only say the SWAT call out “may be” related to the murder of four officers in Parkland this morning. The registered owner of the home shares a last name of the person of interest in the shooting, Maurice Clemmons.
jseattle is on the way to the scene. We’ll update this as we learn more.
Update: According to scanner traffic, the suspect involved here is wounded and armed. Anyone in the area of the stand-off should stay in their homes and away from windows.
9:53PM - Media helicopters causing trouble - Just heard Car 7, who I think is now McDonagh, telling news helicopters to back off because they are “compromising safety”
10:07PM - Big Perimeter - FYI - The perimeter for this operation is huge, as far east as 32nd Ave and several blocks north and south of Yesler. If you live in that area, don’t leave as it could be some time before you can get home. If you’re currently out and trying to get back home, it’s unlikely that you’ll be allowed until the whole thing is over.
Note that stand-offs often last for hours.
10:18PM - Prepare for noise - It sounds like the tempo of SWAT operations is picking up. If you live in the area, be prepared for lots of loud noises. They’ve got a big arsenal and it is very, very loud.
Stay in your homes, away from windows, and don’t bother calling 911 if you hear what sounds like gunshots.
Send the negotiators home, but leave the K-9's.
Then tell him to get his a$$ out the front door!
(There may be some colateral damage to the front door.)
