One 12 year old allegedly attacked another at this community center on June 15.
According to Seattle Police, on June 15 at 12:15 p.m. Southwest Precinct patrol officers responded to a report of an assault at the Southwest Community Center. A 12-year-old girl had struck a 12-year-old boy in the head twice with a backpack full of rocks. According to police reports, an argument occurred over a discussion the victim was having with a friend in regards to another girl.
Witnesses claimed that after the victim fell to the ground "his eyes rolled back in his head and his body began to twitch." When fire department personnel arrived at the scene the boy was still unconscious.
The boy was treated at the scene by Seattle Fire medics and then transported to Harborview Medical Center for additional treatment. His injuries do not appear to be life threatening.
The suspect claimed to police that she had accidentally struck the victim with her back pack when he ran by and denied that they had argued. An officer has informed the girl's mother that her daughter could be facing assault charges although she is currently released into the custody of her parents. She has also been suspended for the remainder of the school year.
Southwest juvenile detectives will be conducting the follow up on this case.
