Police look for suspects in Seattle carjacking, assault
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is looking for four suspects involved in a carjacking and assault of a woman in the University District.
SPD Detective Eric Muñoz told KIRO Newsradio a 35-year-old woman was carjacked Friday around 1:30 a.m. in the 5200 block of 22nd Avenue Northeast.
According to Muñoz, the woman told the responding officer carjackers held a gun to her chest and another to her side as they stole her Subaru Forester.

The woman described the suspects as four Black men in their late teens to early 20s, stated an SPD Blotter post. They were wearing black beanies and face coverings, along with black clothing.
The woman was upset, but not hurt.
“The officer noted that she was crying, very disturbed, but she was not injured, so that’s a very good thing,” Muñoz said.
According to the blotter post, police found the Subaru traveling along Interstate 5 South and followed it. The suspects led officers on a chase until crashing the stolen car in Burien at 4th Avenue Southwest and Southwest 130th Street, near Hazel Valley Elementary School. The suspects then ran off on foot.
Muñoz said officers with the King County Sheriff’s Office and SPD began a manhunt to search for the suspects. They conducted a canine search and used the Guardian One helicopter. However, the suspects were not found.
The Subaru was taken to the North Precinct for an evidence search, stated the blotter post. A handgun was found inside and investigators are working to figure out who the gun belongs to and if it was stolen.

The SPD Robbery Unity has taken over the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000.
“Robbery detectives are all over it and so we do hope that we’re going to find some success and get some evidence so that we can apprehend these individuals that committed this horrible crime,” Muñoz said.

SPD also shared a few safety tips. The first is to park cars in a well-lit area. If someone senses danger, police urge them to go back inside and when possible, ask someone to walk them to their car.
Officers also recommend checking cars from a distance, taking note of anything suspicious and making sure to have keys ready. Also, people should not pay attention to their phones more than their surroundings.
Before getting into the car, police said to check the back seat and once inside, to lock the doors immediately. Finally, SPD recommended that drivers look around their cars as they leave and check the mirrors before pulling away.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
