About an hour ago I was walking back from eating yummy Udon noodles in Lower Queen Anne and noticed three helicopters circling the area. Kiro is reporting a man pulled a gun on his doctor, fled the scene, and jumped off the West Seattle Bridge

The PI has the developing story.

Seattle Police said they were called to a clinic at about 11:30 a.m. The man, a 30-year-old Seattle resident, had come in for a session and became agitated, waving a handgun around his doctor’s office on West Mercer Street in Queen Anne.
The man fled before police arrived, but officers found his jacket containing his identification.
Police then received reports about a jumper on the West Seattle Bridge. The man jumped onto the bluff below and died, they said.

The Seattle Times has the same details.

Did he have a bunch of medical pot and a flashlight on him?

Just a tad older than I am. I hope I don't know this guy.

When are we finally going do something about these bridges? Both the West Seattle and Aurora are instruments of death.

It's as if they wanted to die or something.
