Thanks to those who have called and e-mailed about what they describe was a SWAT team presence in Sunrise Heights. We have confirmed with the Southwest Precinct that officers were attempting to serve a warrant for a “high-risk subject”; we just checked the area and it appears the officers are gone, so now we’re trying to find out if they made an arrest.
Any idea where in Sunrise Heights? Obviously not a specific address, but cross streets maybe?
We are told it was on 31st, near Elmgrove. I don’t have this officially confirmed but so far there are indications the person they were looking for was not there. – TR
That is close to a few schools. Was the SWAT team in action while kids walked home from school?
It was apparently relatively brief. And it did not have to do with anything that happened today – it was a warrant. We have covered numerous cases of daytime warrant services and it has not generally been an occasion to alert schools etc. – TR
To the person who tried to leave a comment with a bogus e-mail address (I sent a note to that address and it bounced) – If you have any proof of what you claimed in your comment, you are welcome to e-mail us at editor@westseattleblog.com – TR
Sorry, comment time is over.
