Shots were fired in the vicinity of Spring and Second during the high-speed of pursuit of what Seattle Police are saying was the aftermath of a bank robbery. Tom (not a fan of having his full name in the news) who works at a Post Alley restaurant lives in Capitol Hill, and he said the pursuit was in full swing when he left his house for work this morning and followed his route to work. Police said the bank in question was in West Seattle. “You knew it was bad because they were driving risky,” Tom said of the 15-22 cars he saw racing after a Jeep SUV. “I definitely heard shots, maybe as many as ten.” This is confirmed by the sight of that very SUV stopped in the middle of the intersection of Spring and Second with its windows blown out by gunfire, and by the presence of an ambulance and medical personnel on the scene. Police called to the scene were in many cases just as confused as the crowds of onlookers pressing against the caution tape that blocked them from an area at least one block out from the Jeep in every direction. One officer blocking cars from driving up Spring said he had just arrived and knew only that there had been a chase. “I was called to the scene and so I came,” he said. “I think it’s a bank robbery.” The officer went on to say that his presence was the result of a mass radio call for all available officers in the vicinity, then herded civilians in the street (including a certain Seattle Weekly reporter) onto the sidewalk. Helicopters are still buzzing over the scene and the area is still taped off. Nothing is known about the condition of the man Seattle Police pulled from the SUV.
