UPDATE: About the police response at Roxhill Park

| West Seattle news | West Seattle parks | West Seattle police

4:53 PM: In case you’re noticing a big police response at Roxhill Park right now: Police converged on the park after a report of someone seen with a gun. They are now talking with a group of at least half a dozen people. We have a crew in the area; not sure how much we will be able to find out, but in case you saw all this, that’s what’s happening. No gunfire reported.

5:01 PM: Just talked with police at the park: “Very realistic-looking pellet gun” is what caught the eye of the person who called 911. The group, most if not all teenagers, was questioned and released.

Replicas and bb guns must be the bane of police existence. How these things are still considered toys and available to consumers is ridiculous.

This is how people get shot. Dumb bleeps walking around sporting a gun that looks to be something other than a bb gun. Considering the amount of strong armed robberies and store robberies, especially with younger people, I question what these teenagers were actually doing walking around flashing it.

They’re lucky nothing happened to them worse than a talking too, as these replicas look like the real deal

Sorry, comment time is over.
