The 17-year-old suspect who was shot in the head by a King County Sheriff's Deputy on May 28 was released from the hospital today. After leaving Harborview Medical Center the suspect was booked into the Youth Service Center on investigation of Assault in the 1st Degree, attempting to allude police, and two counts of Malicious Mischief in the 1st Degree.

On May 28 the teenager was spotted in SeaTac by Sheriff's Deputies driving a 1996 Lexus that had earlier been reported stolen out of Federal Way. When the deputies attempted to pull the suspect over a short chase ensued that ended in the dead end of an apartment complex. As the Deputies got out of their vehicles and approached the suspect's car he threw it into reverse and rammed one of the patrol cars.

In doing so the suspect pinned one of the deputies between the two patrol vehicles. At that point one of the officers fired twice into the suspect's car, hitting him in the head.

The suspect's identity has not been released since he is a minor. However it has been learned that the teenager has an extensive criminal record including charges for car prowling, Malicious Mischief, and theft. The teen has done time in Juvenile Detention.

The Sheriff's Deputy who fired the shots has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation into the shooting continues. His identity has also not yet been released. All that is known at this time is that he is a 41-year-old Deputy who has been with the KCSO for 11 years.
