"Race not mentioned. Seattle. Everybody White?" I have my gut feeling on the race, but it doesn't really matter here. A punk wasn't "lucky". Now he sleeps with the fishes.

The “boy” was not a “teen” at first in the article but his “allegedly” is working just fine to protect his full rights. /S
“encountered a private citizen that was licensed to carry and that private citizen fired his weapon...”

Law enforcement analyst John Urquhart says the case is likely being viewed through the lens of Washington’s self-defense laws.
“Washington is what they call a ‘no duty to retreat’ state,” Urquhart said. “Other states call it ‘stand your ground.’ The idea is exactly the same — when a person is confronted by a bad guy, he is not required to back away or run away.”

Race not mentioned. Seattle. Everybody White? The lack of details in the report indicates that all the participants of this event were of the same race. They could be Whites or Blacks.
Put me down for a bet that they were all Blacks. That guess is based on no information at all from the report, only from observations and follow ups from other incidents.
In a White-on-Black shooting, the White guy is usually arrested, although charges may be dropped later. The report stated that the old guy who shot the young guy was not arrested and "is cooperating with investigators".
White or Black, the best advice for the old guy is to shut up and let his lawyer do all the talking and "cooperating with investigators".

“People who are carrying weapons ...” I wonder if Chief Shon is addressing the illegally armed teens, or the legally armed citizens.

The deceased 16 year old yout was looking forward, not just his high school graduation; he looking forward to pursuing his Associate of Science in Firearms Technology Degree.

The perp shot two people.
This should be the end of it.
If everyone was legally armed, the criminals would think twice.
