Seattle police were busy this weekend. In addition to a fatal shooting in SoDo and a large melee outside of a party in Greenwood, officer were also called to investigate an attempted rape and kidnapping in South Seattle and a shootout in Pioneer Square involving a stolen SPD handgun.
A woman in her late-teens called police from the South Seattle Goodwill Friday night to report that two men had kidnapped her from a bus stop and attempted to rape her.
According to a police report, the woman was waiting for a bus near Rainier Ave S and S Dearborn at about 8pm when two men approached her from behind and "covered her eyes with an unknown object."
The report says the men then forced her into a vehicle and drove off. The car stopped near 10th ave S and S Dearborn and the men attempted to take off the woman's pants. The woman told police she managed to open the car door and escape. The woman fled to the nearby Goodwill and called 911.
The woman told police one of the men was white and the other was black, but was unable to provide any other details.
Hours later, SPD gang unit detectives were called to the scene of a drive-by shooting near Occidental Park in Pioneer Square. According to a police report, a witness called police at about 1:30 AM report that "two vehicles had crashed and two people were shooting at each other" near the park.
At the scene, a man in his mid-twenties told police that he was climbing into his truck, which was parked near 1st Ave S and S Main St, when he saw another car coming at him. The other vehicle hit his truck and sped off.
It's unclear from the report when exactly shot were fired, but the report says officers recovered several bullet casings and a .40 caliber handgun in an alley. According to the report, the handgun was an SPD issued weapon, stolen two months ago. It appears no one was injured in the shooting.
