Shots fired at house party
A house party in White Center "went bad" early Sunday, January 16 when numerous shots were fired. A 20 year old Seattle man was hit in the torso and friends drove him to Harborview Medical Center where he underwent surgery. The house was located in the 600 block of S.W. 107th St. A fight broke out after one of the party-goers grabbed the butt of one of the female guests. Her boyfriend took exception and there was a fistfight. The grabber was asked to leave the home. An hour later several men came back to the house, pounded on the front door, and then fired several rounds from a handgun into the house. The suspects fled the scene and no arrests had been made at the time of the report. It is currently under investigation.
Car vs. pedestrian accident
A 14 year old boy was seriously injured when struck by a pick-up truck on Saturday, January 15. The accident occurred in the 10800 block of 26th Ave. S.W., in unincorporated King County just south of Seattle. Investigating detectives believe the boy came running out of a driveway and into the street. He was hit by a 2005 Dodge Ram pick-up truck driven by a 21 year old man, who was not able to stop or avoid the boy. Detectives do not believe drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the accident.
Shots fired in the air from vehicle
Police dispatch received multiple calls of shots fired in the area of S.W. 142nd St and 13th Ave S.W. The calls were consistent of five "rapid fire" shots in the area, but nothing seen. An officer arrived in the area and spoke to a witness who had been outside walking his dog when he heard the shots. He also located one shell casing on the roadway. After the shots were fired, the witness observed a white car leaving the area heading southbound. He could not say for certain if this vehicle was related to the shots. The officer conducted an area check and found all five casings spread every 10-15 yards apart. All five casings were Rugar 9mm. The casings were found in front of a home that was for sale and vacant. It appeared as though a suspect may have just fired 5 shots into the air as they were driving by. Nothing in the area appeared to have been hit by any bullets.
