Don Armeni Park in West Seattle is a place where you might see people flying kites or tossing frisbees, but on Sunday evening a different kind of aerial activity was attracting attention. Ryan Kakoy, a paragliding enthusiast from Everett was seen practicing his maneuvers at the park. Kakoy, who has been paragliding for eight years, is not your average park-goer. He’s a certified pilot sport and treats paragliding as a serious athletic pursuit.
Paragliding, as Kakoy explains, is a lightweight, motorless form of flight that involves a kind of "foot launch". He's gone through about a month of schooling to earn his certification. It’s not just a casual hobby; there’s a pilot certification association, similar to those for other lightweight aircraft.
Seattle Police responded to a report of a shooting at 7/11 at 35th SW and SW Barton Street around 1:25 pm on Friday. No one has yet been reported hurt.
Officers found 10 9mm shell casings in the parking lot and said that a young black male with two handguns, wearing a black puffy jacket fled southbound in a red Toyota Rav 4 vehicle.

Information from Seattle Police Blotter
At 7:53pm, Wednesday night two suspects walked inside the Safeway located at the 2600 BLK of California Ave SW.
The two suspects walked to the meat section and grabbed about $200 worth of meats.
The suspects walked towards the exit door. A loss prevention officer identified himself and told the suspects to stop.
The suspects charged the LP and additional LPs assisted.
After a struggle, The LPs were able to detain one of the suspects. The second suspect left on foot and returned to fight the LPs and get them to release the first suspect.
During the fight the suspects chocked and struck one of the LPs in the head. The suspects got inside a blue vehicle and while fleeing the scene struck another vehicle.
Video footage was reviewed, and an ID that possibly belongs to one of the suspects was recovered from the scene.
