Police shot a man last night at a home near the west end of Admiral in West Seattle. The house, in the Alki area of West Seattle, became known to police when a woman called to report a disturbance and what sounded like a gunshot. The woman had called a friend living at the home, and she heard screaming followed by what sounded like a gunshot. The line went dead, and when the friend called back a man answered, He is said to have been very upset, and to have made suicidal threats.
Police responded and a man was shot by an officer. Police recovered a pistol and an AK-47, which the assailant leveled at three officers, who then fired. The man was wounded in the abdomen, and taken to Harborview, where his condition is stable.
When we lived in West Seattle (we loved it there), I never thought of Alki as being high crime area. And certainly not a violent area. Recent data shows that while there are some burglaries and thefts, with the exception of an occasional assault – to be found anywhere in the city from time to time – crimes there are mostly property crimes.
