A KING-TV cameraman was arrested for obstruction after refusing multiple officer orders to move away from a SWAT incident in the High Point area. Although crews from other stations complied and filmed from other locations, this cameraman argued with officers and sergeants. In the words of the report, "his continuing obstructive and argumentative actions were causing officers to place themselves in a potentially dangerous situation by having their faces and attention turned away from the crime scene." The cameraman was eventually taken to the Southwest Precinct, where he was investigated and released.

Officers and medics felt she was a danger to herself and others and sent her to Harborview for an involuntary evaluation.
