Brighton

Shots fired in Brighton, no injuries or arrests (SPD):

Shortly before 8 pm last Saturday, Seattle police officers responded to several 911 calls reporting shots fired at 38th Avenue South and MLK Way South near South Graham Street in the Brighton neighborhood of Southeast Seattle. Two vehicles were seen fleeing south.

According to SPD, officers arrived in the 6500 block of 38th Avenue South and spoke with several juveniles who were on the porch of a nearby home. Investigation indicated that at least some of these juveniles had been in one of the involved vehicles. They said that they had pulled over near their residence when a young man came by on a bicycle and stopped near their car.

Shortly thereafter, the boy on the bike was struck from behind by a 1980′s sedan that was traveling southbound, and the bicyclist and the driver exchanged words.

According to police:

A handgun was then extended from the car and pointed at the bicyclist.  Several shots were fired at which point the sedan and the victim bicyclist fled in unknown directions. The subjects in the initial vehicle drove down to their house and got out. Shortly thereafter officers arrived in the area.

Officers canvassed the area but couldn’t find any property damage or injured victims. The suspects remain at large.

Cash register robbery on Beacon Hill, no arrests (SPD):

On Sunday at approximately 9 pm, South Precinct officers responded to a robbery call at a business in the 2500 Block of Beacon Avenue South near South McClellan Street on Beacon Hill.

It seems that a male and female suspect entered the business and confronted the clerk. The female suspect, described as black, heavy set, and in her 20′s,  assaulted the clerk with mace or pepper spray, while the male suspect, a 5′-11″ tall, skinny black man in his 20′s, wearing glasses and a yellow t-shirt, grabbed the cash register before they both fled.

An extensive manhunt, including K-9 track, proved unsuccessful.
