Seattle Police SWAT, patrol officers, and HNT (Hostage Negotiation Team) members are outside a Lake City apartment this morning speaking to a barricaded suspect who is believed to be armed.
Police received reports of a shooting in the 12500 block of Lake City way at around 6 a.m. Police believe a 51-year-old man shot at a nearby car then retreated inside his apartment. Officers have set up a containment perimeter around the apartment.
There is probable cause for the man’s arrest for investigation of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and for a pending felony warrant.
This is an active scene. We will provide updates when possible.
