Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 10:41 AM

Seattle Police have arrested yet another teenager for his alleged involvement in a gang-related shooting.

At about 5:30pm last night, SPD detectives arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with a shooting in the 5600 Block of S. Avon Street near Rainier View Elementary on Monday.

Police recovered a handgun during the arrest and impounded the 16-year-old's vehicle. He was booked into the Youth Service Center for assault.

Not to split hairs, but the shooting wasn't actually in Beacon Hill. That location is far south of the Hill.

Did I miss something or did the boy just age a year from the title to the body of the post?

I hate to say this, but that location isn't Rainier Valley, either. Call it Rainier View (that's the name on the Seattle city neighborhood map).

Seriously, that is up on a ridge, not in the valley (and not on Beacon Hill, either).

UM so what's the deal stranger, was he 15 or 16?

I mean, I understand that the stranger doesn't posses the strictest adherence to the AP style, but maybe just have the headline info match the story.
