    I live at J47 and a transient man snuck in the building while movers had the door propped open and called 911 through the elevator and was asked to leave by tenants. Probably a false alarm.

      That was pretty much the scenario. He apparently claimed his girlfriend had been shot but there was no evidence of a woman, shot or not, with him or in the vicinity. Our crew (who was there fast because they were at Easy Street for the show) reports it appears the person was going to be taken to Harborview to be evaluated.

    That explains every Police officer in West Seattle flying North up 35th…Sorry to hear about a person in crisis, but GLAD that there was no one shot

Sorry, comment time is over.
