- 18th Ave armed robbery: Two people returning home from a restaurant were beaten and robbed at gunpoint in an incident near 18th and Denny late Thursday night. The Seattle Police Department reports the victims were walking around 11:20 PM when two men jumped them, punching one victim in the face and grabbing the other’s bag after pulling her to the ground. The victims said the second suspect pulled a black handgun on them as they were robbed. Police say one victim suffered a laceration to the face during the mugging. No detailed descriptions of the suspects were provided in the SPD report.
- Monday stabbing: Police say a stabbing reported Monday afternoon in a Madison area apartment was a domestic violence incident. SPD reports a woman was taken into custody after cutting a family member on the hand in the dispute. The victim suffered minor injuries. The suspect was booked into jail for investigation of assault.
- Overnight gunfire: Police investigated reports of gunfire early Monday morning. Officers were dispatched to the report of a series of gunshots near E Highland Drive around 12:45 AM but no injuries or property damage was reported located.
- Additional May 24th arrest: SPD says there was an additional arrest in the East Precinct during the day of counter-protests against an anti-trans Christian rally at Cal Anderson Park on Saturday, May 24th. CHS reported here on the updates on the arrests as no charges had been filed against the eight protesters SPD said it took into custody that day. In the additional arrest, SPD says officers noted “a suspicious male standing next to their marked Seattle Police vehicle” just after noon Saturday. “After concluding their initial call, he approached one of the officers and asked how many officers it would take to arrest him,” the SPD report on the arrest reads. “The individual then stated that he was on his way to ‘blow up’ the police headquarters because he hated the police.” Police say they took the man into custody as he was headed toward Capitol Hill Station. He was booked into King County Jail.

WWSS?
What would sawant say?
My guess is nothing… she never cared about individuals in her constituency…
lol you are obsessed.
Praying for those victims who were mugged. Praying for them to sleep well at night and for the trust in humanity not to wane!
Praying and thoughts eh?
Trump supporter 100%
Your misguided “trust in humanity” is BS too.
Stumpy and I had this convo a week ago. If you know there’s danger? Avoid it. But if it’s unavoidable? Have a plan. Face laceration is a razor knife prolly. Also? Not being out at 11:30 is a good thing unless it’s some kinda side street etc, But not an ally etc. Having defense on you is good. I recommend pepper spray #1. Once you get that it’s over. No eyes no muggy muggy. Be aware always of your surroundings just in case. Crap like that.
Some people are legit victims but don’t know how to handle that. Or car jacking etc.
They’ll be fine. The dude came away with a shaving cut.
Wait what? We’re saying that people shouldn’t go outside at 11:30? What in the world?
Agreed. It’s also such a seemingly chill corner where you don’t expect to get mugged. But then again you can get mugged anywhere I guess…
