This shooting took place a few blocks from my apartment - my view is actually over the shooting area.  The police response was pretty impressive.....not only in how fast they responded but it was obvious that they've extensively prepared for this exact circumstance.

They took down about 5 square blocks of Belltown almost immediately and handled the rush hour traffic at the borders of the shutdown zone so well it was almost impossible to tell anything was going on.....aside from emergency vehicles screaming into the area from every corner of the city.

Other than hearing the sirens, I didn't realize anything was happening until I tried to walk to a bar downtown to meet some friends for my birthday.  The path I take to that bar is directly through the zone.....I ended up having to walk some distance around the cordoned off part of Belltown.

I think the police were awesome. They had the call at 1604 or so and had the guy out of the building less than 15 minutes later. People were shot and bleeding during that time period.

Good job Seattle!!! I think I will email them.

The police and ambulance response was very impressive. Looks like the PD is well-trained and very effective.
