WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Gunfire at Westcrest Park (updated Monday)

7:51 PM: After 911 calls reporting suspected gunfire in the Westcrest Park area (and two people texting us about it), police went to the park and just radioed in that they found “multiple shell casings” in the park’s south lot. No injuries reported so far.

7:56 PM: An officer on scene just told dispatch it’s a “mix of rifle and pistol casings,” including 9mm and .556, and that there’s “property damage” at the park.

ADDED MONDAY: Only one bit of added info in the brief SPD summary about this – the “property damage” is described as having been found on “a temporary ‘notice of planned construction’ sign.”

    Thanks to whoever called this in.   I do believe these actions have positive effects on these situations.

    More cameras please to help apprehend these idiots. Check the casings for fingerprints and start a database of where and when casings are found….eventually they may get caught.

    Is Westcrest still a popular off leash dog park? More foot traffic is a deterrent for reckless activity.
