14-year-old Seattle teen arrested for shooting at police officers

After responding to reports of a drive-by shooting, Seattle Police Department (SPD) patrol officers arrested a teenage suspect who fired additional shots at police during a vehicle pursuit.

The drive-by shooting reportedly occurred at the 900 block of Sandpoint Way Northeast in North Seattle.

“Police determined that a maroon Honda minivan was shooting at a white transport van,” SPD stated in its crime blotter. “The victim vehicle left the scene and was not located. No known injuries occurred.”

The suspected Honda fled from officers who were responding to the drive-by shooting, and the officers initiated a vehicle pursuit. The vehicle drove recklessly into oncoming traffic, reaching 90 miles per hour at one point, according to SPD.

“At about 2:20 p.m., witnesses reported that someone in the passenger seat of the vehicle was shooting at the officers pursuing their vehicle,” SPD stated. “Neither the officers nor their patrol vehicle were struck by gunfire.”

Officers finally located the vehicle abandoned approximately an hour later. SPD was able to determine the vehicle was reported stolen Sunday night.

Through locating video evidence of one of the suspects fleeing the area on foot, SPD uncovered that the suspect was a repeat offender — a 14-year-old teenager that the police department was familiar with.

“Police are familiar with this teen as he was previously arrested on Sept. 12 for possession of a stolen vehicle and taking a motor vehicle without permission,” SPD stated.

Officers located the suspect inside his residence at the 6800 block of 62nd Avenue Northeast and arrested him for drive-by shooting, unlawful possession of a firearm and felony assault. The 14-year-old suspect was booked into detention at the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center. Another suspect believed to be involved was investigated and released by officers at the North Precinct pending further information.

Kraken lose 5th straight game, Jets 6-2 win pushes Seattle further from playoffs

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Kraken dropped their fifth-straight game as the Jets won 6-2 in Winnipeg.

The loss adds to the dwindling Stanley Cup Playoff hopes for a Kraken team that’s made the postseason just once since the team began playing in the 2021-2022 season.

The Kraken’s (32-33-11) 75 points trail the Nashville Predators’ 81 points with just six games remaining.

The Jets, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, and Saint Louis Blues are ahead of the Kraken in the standings as teams jockey for Wild Card spots.

Kraken captain Jordan Eberle opened the scoring in the first period to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.

The Jets then scored once in the first period and twice in the second to take a 3-2 advantage into the third.

Goalkeeper Joey Daccord was pulled after allowing two goals on 12 shots.

Forward Jared McCann scored early in the third period to bring the Kraken to within one.

The Jets then scored two unanswered goals and an empty-net goal to seal the 6-2 win.

Up next

The Kraken play at the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
