CRIME WATCH FOLLOWUP: Did you see the 5-way shots-fired confrontation?

(SPD photo from last Tuesday, bullet-flattened tire)

Last Tuesday, we reported on what police described as a “road rage” confrontation that included gunfire at the 5-way intersection west of the low bridge. Police talked to everyone directly involved, including the people who fired their guns, who claimed they did it in self-defense. Though no one was arrested or cited at the time, detectives continue investigating to determine if charges should be recommended. While they’ve spoken with some witnesses, this happened during commute time at a busy intersection and police tell WSB the detective on the case would like to talk with others who saw what happened. If you can help, you are asked to call the SPD tip line, 206-233-5000.

    In no way is firing shots at another person’s car acceptable. Why does SPD need to determine if charges should be raised?

      In no way is using a car as a deadly weapon and ramming an individual acceptable.  Why does SPD need to determine if charges should be raised?

    How is shooting out tires of a car you hit the windows on self defense? What a waste of police resources. Take their guns and put them in jail.

    Self defense mi culo. What situation at an intersection is so dangerous you need to fire a gun?? People are dumb.
