On Dec. 31, officers responded to a South Seattle home in the 4200 block of South Eddy Street shortly after 10 p.m. after receiving a report of a domestic dispute between a man and a woman. Officers investigated the incident and left the scene to complete their report.
Officers returned around 10:30 p.m. after getting a second call from the victim.
In KIRO's report Dec. 31, police say they exited the house and found a car driving toward them on the street.
They then saw a second car following, firing in the direction of the first car and the police officers.
This video begins with police interviewing a suspect as he sat on the hood of a patrol car.
Seattle police spokesperson Officer Drew Fowler said bullets were fired at and above the officers, but no one was injured.
Police believe the gunman’s car then pulled away.
According to procedure, the three officers involved are on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Anyone with information about this case should call the SPD tip line at 206-233-5000.
