8:17 PM: Thanks for the tips. Police have been investigation multiple reports of someone firing a gun into the air near 24th SW and SW Henderson this afternoon, and radio exchanges indicate the same person might be responsible. We already had an inquiry out to police regarding the first report around 1 pm. Then police were dispatched to the area after 5 pm to investigate the possibility that one man had fired into the air then and in the 4 pm hour. Radio exchanges indicate someone was detained but we might not be able to confirm the status of the case until tomorrow. No injuries were reported.

ADDED 9:36 AM THURSDAY: Here’s what we obtained from SPD regarding two gunfire incidents and a case police believe was related:

1st incident: Original Incident Number is 2026-157563.

Occurred on 6/3/2026 at 12:25 pm, at Westwood Village. The Staff of store told Police an individual, later identified to be (suspect), came into the store at wanting to buy .45 caliber ammunition for his gun. The staff saw a pistol tucked in front. The employee manager described (him) as acting weird and said he wanted to buy ammunition because somebody broke into his home and he was sick of it and ‘If I find out, I’m going to shoot him’ or words to that effect. (suspect) purchased the ammunition, lingered around the store, and then exited. He was gone when officers arrived.

2nd incident: Original Incident Number is 2026-157618, this report.

The priority one 911 call came in at around 1:15 pm. The 911 was regarding a suspect (presumably (suspect)) shooting at a UPS truck. Dispatch said the suspect was at the northbound bus stop at Delridge Way SW & SW Henderson ST. Officers arrived on scene and saw later identified (suspect) walking across the street from the bus stop. However, given the superficial amount of suspect description (suspect) was not detained. Officers located the UPS truck at 9041 Delridge Ave SW and spoke to the driver. He said at around 1:13 pm, he had just finished a delivery at 8854 Delridge Way SW and when he saw the suspect seemingly talking to another individual. The driver said he then saw the suspect retrieve a pistol, pointing the pistol into the air and fired two shots. The driver said other people waiting for the bus stop flinched and he drove southbound away from the scene.

RTCC uploaded a video of the shooting.

3rd incident: Original Incident Number is 2026-157853.

The 911 call came in at 5:30 pm at 8000 block of 24th Ave SW regarding (suspect) shooting in the air. At this point, the responding officers and Sergeant were aware and/or had direct involvement in the investigations of the prior two incidents, including the link to (suspect). Officers responded and eventually took the suspect into custody.

He was in the King County Jail as of early today.
