WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Weekend shooting

In addition to the incidents we covered this weekend, police summaries reveal one we missed. According to SPD, a man reported to them at around 4:40 am Saturday that he’d been shot. They say he told them it happened about 20 minutes earlier in the “triangle’ area where Delridge, 16th, and Roxbury meet. He said several men came up to him and made a profane remark; then one of the men shot him in the knee. He was taken to the hospital; no suspects were found.

    What is going on in the triangle that there are people wandering around at 4am?!?

      Idk, maybe people live around there? On a Saturday people stay up late? Not that big of a surprise auntie

      Yes. People wander around the Triangle area at all hours. I just drove home through there 15 minutes ago and there were as many people walking around as at 1pm.

      Some people have to leave for work early in the morning, even on a Saturday. Maybe a barista that has to walk their dog or get some exercise before going to work to make sure people can get their latte’s when their cafe opens at 6am. Heck, the Starbucks on Michigan St opens at 4:30am everyday. Bus drivers and ferry workers also have early starts, even on weekends. I don’t think it’s at all suspicious that someone was at the Triangle at 4:30am.

Sorry, comment time is over.
