• World School lock down after reported fight over gun: The multilingual Seattle Public school on 21st Ave E was locked down Tuesday afternoon following a soccer field fight involving reported gang members who the victims say punched them with brass knuckles and put a gun to one person’s head for “talking bad” on Facebook. According to the report on the incident, the school went into lock down until police arrived and cleared the scene. The three victims said they were punched and kicked by the two males who came onto the school grounds and confronted them on the soccer pitch. After the brass knuckle assault, one suspect reportedly pulled a pistol from his pocket and held it to the head of one of the victims. The victim said he was able to wrestle the weapon away and throw it to the ground allowing the group to escape. A search of the area did not turn up the suspects or the gun. There are no details of injuries from the incident in the SPD report and Seattle Fire does not show a medic response to the school.

As the fight was broken up and the combatants were being sent on their way, one took a series of swings at one responding officer but failed to connect.
