Seattle Police publish summaries of notable incidents to the SPDBlotter site (spdblotter.seattle.gov); we have the West Seattle Crime Watch page set up so that any tagged “Southwest Precinct” automatically feed there (here’s a direct link). Just spotted the summary of last night’s Admiral shots fired/victim beaten/suspect arrested incident (WSB as-it-happened coverage here) – here’s what police wrote:

On 8/28/09, at approximately 1130 p.m., the suspect and victim got into a fight in front of a Pub in the 2300 block of California Av SW. The suspect pulled out a hand gun, and pistol-whipped the victim, causing facial lacerations and possibly a broken nose. During the assault, a round apparently went off into the air, leading witnesses to believe that the victim had been shot. Seattle Fire responded and treated the victim on scene, he was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.

The suspect ran off a short distance and tossed the hand gun away. A witness identified the suspect to the responding officers, and showed them the location of the gun. The suspect was arrested, and the gun was recovered.

The suspect was booked into King County Jail for Investigation of Assault.

Please follow the included link to the detailed coverage from last night. The police/fire scene spread all across the block and the medic unit was parked on the west side of the street but according to police, both via scanner and at the scene, the fight happened outside Admiral Pub. — TR

In the comments from the earlier post, there was mention of gunfire at 28th & Holden……any word on if that actually happened?

If anyone is concerned about crime watch in West Seattle, Be Advised the armed assailant in the Admiral Junction incident on Friday the 28th of August is free on Bail and resides in West Seattle. If he was reckless enough to carry a loaded weapon into a bar then, he is definately capable of doing something just as dangerous again. Be cautious out there, you never know, because even when you walk away from what could be a potential agrument/altercation you can still become a victim, especially when the coward strikes from behind!

Sorry, comment time is over.
