• Overnight street robbery shooting: Police were investigating after a man was shot in a reported street robbery attempt overnight on Capitol Hill. 911 was alerted to gunfire near Harvard and Denny around 4:40 AM. A man was reported with a gunshot wound to his pelvis at a nearby 10th Ave E apartment building minutes later. As Seattle Fire was sent to the building to treat the victim reported as a man in his 30s, police searched the area on the street for a shooting scene to collect evidence. The victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition. Police were searching for a suspect described as a black male, wearing a beanie, with chin-length dreadlocks, and a blue rain jacket. There were no immediate arrests. UPDATE: Police are investigating the gunshot as a self-inflicted injury.

• Bar knife fight: Police were called to a last call fight involving a knife reported at Capitol Hill’s Diesel Bar early Thursday. Arriving officers reported two people were injured in the fracas including one person taken into custody suffering from knife wounds in the 2:13 AM disturbance. We’re following up with Seattle Fire for details on the extent of injuries in the incident. UPDATE: SFD reports one person suffered only a minor injury and did not require further treatment while the other “refused treatment and was left in the custody of SPD.” UPDATE x2: SPD has posted a brief providing more details about the melee:
  At 0214 hours, callers reported a male and female fighting outside of a bar. Officers arrived to find the male and female both with stab wounds, and the female with facial injuries. On investigation, the female pulled out a knife for an unknown reason and without verbal threats. The male tried to take it from her, and the two fought over the knife, both sustaining stab/slash injuries. The male took the knife and threw it down the street, and returned, beating the female in the face and head with his fists. Both parties arrested, knife recovered. 
• Hate crime arrest: SPD says it arrested a First Hill man in a violent hate crime Tuesday night:
  On Feb. 25 at about 8:15 p.m., patrol officers responded to reports of an assault where the suspect was using racial slurs while attacking the victim. Two people were talking outside when the suspect stormed out of a nearby apartment onto the street and began yelling racist language at them. He abruptly ran towards the victim and punched her, knocking her to the ground. According to the police report, he unleashed a “flurry” of punches and kicks on the victim while calling her racial slurs. She sustained injuries to her head, face, and knee. The suspect left the area and was last seen running back into his apartment. Officers arrived and facilitated medical treatment with the Seattle Fire Department. The victim was in stable condition.
  SPD says officers armed with a search warrant took the suspect into custody without incident. He was booked into jail for investigation of assault and a bias crime.
