Crime Man Shot In Beacon Hill
Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Seattle Police are looking for a gunman after a man was shot in Beacon Hill earlier this afternoon.
According to SPD spokesman Jeff Kappel, at about 3:30 pm, police received several calls about gunfire in the 5500 Block of South Avon street. Officers spotted a maroon sedan fleeing the scene and received reports about a man running through the neighborhood with a gun.
Nearby Rainier View Elementary was locked down following the shooting.
I'll update as more info becomes available.

@1 Well, if could could drive himself fast enough maybe he'd time travel and then it would be.

Pacific Medical is in the same building as Amazon, not a bad place to go for first aid if bullets are preventing you from getting detailed directions to Harborview.

This made for an exciting day at work:

You can see the man's clothes lying on our sidewalk. Before the photo was taken there was also an ambulance and fire truck.

When I read sentences like these....
"It is not uncommon for there to be three homicides in Cuyahoga County in a day. That has happened at least 20 times since 2001, according to a Plain Dealer analysis of coroner's records."
...I'm reminded of how "safe" Seattle is.

The shooting address isn't on Beacon Hill. Not sure what that neighborhood is called but its closer to Skyway

@6stinkbug,
I am more and more convinced that multiple killings usually involve domestic disputes (see Jennifer Hudson's family member murders, the Brian Nichols case where he shot and killed the judge in a domestic proceeding in a GA courtroom in 2005, etc.). What's shocking is these murders of children usually involve stepchildren. Not the man's own kids. It mimics what gorillas do when they kill a rival over a female and then proceed to kill the offspring of that rival and same female but proceed to sire with her exclusively.
Those killings in Cleveland are horrific. Children were among the victims. I believe it was a domestic dispute. Bloody sad.
