Seattle Police were searching for a shooter in a tuxedo making his escape on a Lime rental scooter after gunfire Thursday afternoon near Freeway Park.
The James Bond-like scene was a serious deal. Police found multiple shell casings strewn across streets in the area. A check for victims around First Hill and at nearby Harborview fortunately turned up empty.
SPD says its officers were called to the area of Hubbell Place and University around 2:15 PM Thursday to reports of gunfire. Witnesses reported a shooter described as a white male in his early 30s, around 5’11” and thin with short blond hair, wearing a full tuxedo suit down to the black oxfords, and riding a rental electric scooter. It wasn’t clear who, if anybody, he was firing at. He was last reported headed south.
Police searched the area but found only the spent shell casings in the street. There were no arrests.

He unlocked the Lime scooter, it has a camera.
Was he wearing a mask?
“In the name of the moon, I will punish you!”
Anything like the above recorded?
Probably hacked the scooter… there’s a group of kids in this area that does it all the time.. You’ll hear them coming – riding one of those Lime scooters with its alarm chiming, but going full speed down the street none the less.
Bezos was wearing a tux recently!
God Bless this blog for bringing our attention to punks with guns on electric scooters and electric bikes.
Imagine if they had to pedal while shooting.
