From weekend summaries plus the WSB inbox:

KNIFEPOINT ROBBERY: Just after 5 pm Sunday, a woman was held up at knifepoint outside the 35th/Avalon 7-11. The SPD summary says:

Two suspects had apparently been trying to get the victim’s attention, but she left. When she returned to her car, there was an orange cone on her car. The two suspects approached her again and this time one of them pulled a knife on her. She was able to get into her car but as she was driving away the suspect opened her car door, reached in, and stole a bag before the victim drove away.

PARTY ASSAULT: An officer was injured while trying to break up what the SPD summary describes as a “large house party” in Seaview just before 10 pm Friday. The summary says, “On arrival, officers encountered roughly 100 juvenile partiers; some began anti-police chants.” Police say one threw “at least two fist-sized rocks at officers, striking (one) officer in the shin.” One teen was arrested and booked into juvenile custody.

GUNFIRE INCIDENT #1: Around 12:37 am Sunday, a report of suspected gunfire led officers to the 4700 block of Delridge Way SW, where they are reported to have found “evidence of a shooting.” 911 callers sai they had seen a silver sedan leaving the area. No injuries reported.

GUNFIRE INCIDENT #2: On Friday morning, a Seattle Parks employee reported a bullet hole in a metal box at Roxhill Park. Police responded and found not only the hole but also a spent bullet in the box, They couldn’t determine when it happened.

DUMPED-LIKELY-STOLEN PACKAGE: If your name is Sean and you live in a condo/apartment toward the north end of California SW, Kitty found an empty package addressed to you. It apparently had contained pet medications, “I only mention this in case the person is expecting this and wondering what happened …”

Question – were the partiers under age or creating a public nuisance If so please give them some notoriety. – like the address and parents names.

WSB October 17, 2022 (7:13 pm)

As quoted above, the summary described them as “juvenile,” which means under 18.

Id like to know what Jim would do if he was able to get the names and addresses of the parents. What make you think you have the right to that information?

  Just what frog, audifans and question authority said – let everybody know exactly who was so well behaved.

Audifans October 17, 2022 (6:30 pm)

Such nice people. Knives, anti-police with throwing rocks. Just wonderful citizenry.Maybe they will lay off the drugs and booze

Question Authority October 17, 2022 (6:32 pm)

Nothing like the pulling out the “anti -police chants” as the buzz kill gets real, wait till Mom and Dad come home.

Frog October 17, 2022 (7:30 pm)

Wait until mom and dad come home, and find 100 teenagers trashing their house. Someone’s gonna get their x-box taken away for at least a week. Or something.

Re party assault: Nice to see this community raising such respectful individuals (eye roll).

Watertowerjim October 18, 2022 (5:24 am)

I miss the good old days when people actually feared and respected police. – despite not being 100% perfect. Will things ever go back to normal? I fear not.

WSEARES October 18, 2022 (10:00 am)

Any address for the dumped empty package box? My neighbor is Sean and we are in a condo on north end of California Ave SW at SW Massachusetts St. I can let him know. thanks.

WSB October 18, 2022 (10:09 am)

The address was in the 1500 block of California.

The package theft is something that irritates me. The fact that it was cat medication shows that sometimes, the package has items the recipient needs.About ten years ago, one of my friends, living in a Rainier Beach apartment complex found out his diabetes medication was stolen. This happened to be Insulin, which needs to be refrigerated. It was a maintenance worker that told him about it since the perp(s) left the package opened near a back exit of his building.

Frustrated October 18, 2022 (5:58 pm)

Somebody is either trying to turn the cat medication into a drug or is trying to sell it for drugs.

Youth October 18, 2022 (9:59 pm)

Everyone in the comments must be too old to remember a party getting busted by the cops.

Frustrated October 19, 2022 (6:40 am)

The difference is what was done or not done to the cops in response to getting busted. Are parents nowadays teaching their kids that when they get caught doing something wrong it’s ok to violently lash out?

Sorry, comment time is over.
