After a recent drive by shooting in front of Goofy’s Bar in Crown Hill, another drive by in the same area left one woman unconscious, however, bullets were not the projectiles in this incident –--eggs were.

According to Seattle Police, on Feb. 24 a woman was knocked unconscious by a flying egg outside a Crown Hill bar at Northwest 85th Street and 15th Avenue Northwest. The egg was one of many thrown by individuals in a passing truck.

The egg struck the woman behind her ear, and, luckily, her friends caught her before she hit the ground and rushed her to a nearby hospital. The woman was not the only one hit; the egg-volley struck her friends, bystanders and the building.

The truck containing the eggers was described as small, black or green pickup with a canopy and dark-tinted windows.

Egging is common vandal prank for many young people, but when eggs are used as a weapon, perpetrators can be charged with assault.

The incident is not the first the Ballard News-Tribune has reported recently where egg-fire was used to assault someone. Last August a man was struck in the back of the head by an egg. The man was uninjured but was very angry. The victim told SPD officers that two young men threw the egg, then laughed at the victim and sped away in an off white, 90s model Chrysler. The victim drove around the neighborhood looking for the perpetrators before calling police. Officers did not find the suspects.

Readers are advised to call (206) 625-5011 if they have information about the egging incident.
