A police chase in SeaTac Thursday night resulted in a teen in the hospital after being shot in the head by police. The incident occurred just before 8:30 p.m. on May 28th after deputies from the King County Sheriff’s Department spotted a stolen car on Highway 99 in SeaTac. The suspect refused to stop after several attempts by police to pull the vehicle over. Deputies were eventually able to box in the vehicle on the 20800 block of 32nd Avenue South near Legacy Place Apartments. Both officers exited their vehicles and called for the suspect to turn off his engine and get out of the stolen vehicle. The suspect then attempted to ram his way free by putting the car in reverse and repeatedly slamming it into the vehicle behind him. The impact from the stolen car ramming into the police vehicle pinned one of the officers to his patrol car. According to the King County Sheriff’s Department, this is when the second deputy on the scene decided to fire on the vehicle. “Fearing his partner’s life,” the deputy fired twice into the car with one bullet striking the suspect in the head. The suspect, who was identified as a 17-year-old boy, was rushed by medics to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and is expected to survive the gunshot wound. Initial reports stated that the boy had fired on officers but investigators report that no gun was found with the suspect and the misinformation was a result of a dispatcher misunderstanding reports that shots had been fired. Neither deputy involved in the chase sustained any major injury. The King County Sheriff’s Department did not release the identity of the suspect due to his age.
