Update: Police search after stabbing on Harbor Island

11:39 AM: Big emergency response headed for 11th SW/SW Spokane vicinity, where police are looking for a suspect in a stabbing reported to have followed a “fight disturbance.” We don’t have a full description yet – except for “wearing an orange sweatshirt” and leaving the scene on foot, eastbound on Spokane, per scanner traffic. More to come.

11:56 AM: The scene is difficult to reach so far so this updated information is from SPD via Twitter: The stabbing happened along SW Spokane “near Terminal 18. Victim suffered minor cut to leg. Officers searching for Asian male, blue coat.”

12:02 PM: Since it’s a minor injury, SFD’s involvement has already closed out, and our ground crew isn’t seeing police at the original scene, either.

      Minor injury, SPD has also been dealing with a stabbing on Aurora, but just tweeted some info on this one that I’m adding.

      TV was deliberating whether to go. I have not heard any indication of Guardian One being involved. SFD has cleared the scene and SPD is apparently searching elsewhere, according to our crew that was looking for anyone to talk to at the scene.

    Saw bunch of cops running around next to sw Plumbing. Related?

      Don’t know. There was a report of a felony arrest in that area but by the time we got there, all was clear.

    Does the Shelter in Place at Chief Sealth High School have any relation to this?

      No. I just got confirmation from the district that it was because of the report of someone seen “with a gun” at Westwood but it turned out to be an airsoft gun.

Sorry, comment time is over.
