While searching the area, officers found multiple bullet holes in a vehicle. The suspect was apprehended a couple of blocks away without incident. Officers also recovered a gun from the scene.
A witness provided video evidence confirming the shooting, including a visible muzzle flash and the suspect’s voice, which was distinguishable as he was heard yelling.
Officers recovered a gun from the scene.
The man was booked into King County Jail for investigation of aiming or discharging firearms, and reckless endangerment.
