Description of Incident
Tonight at about 5:20, two men got into an altercation of some kind in an apartment complex. As
one of the men left in his car, the other man shot at him with a shot gun. The blast blew out the
window of the car and injured the man. He continued to drive and headed toward the Tukwila Police
Department. On the way, he crashed into other cars on 62 Ave right outside the department.
As officers helped him, he was able to tell them about the shooting. He was sent to Harborview for
treatment. Officers went to the apartment complex and contacted the suspect. Officers tried for
about an hour to get him to come out. He refused to surrender and shot at officers with the
shotgun. Two officers fired at him and he was hit. He succumbed to his injuries. No officers or
bystanders were injured.
Detectives and the regional officer involved shooting investigation team are investigating. The
officers that fired their weapons will be on paid administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
I will be available at the above number until about 10:00 PM. We will release more information
tomorrow.
