during rush hour traffic because of DV shooting

Just after 6am Thursday morning, June 7, 2018, a 40 year old Shoreline man shot his wife in the leg at their home on N 193rd, just off Meridian.

The suicidal male fled with his gun in the family vehicle.

Shoreline Fire tended to the wife, who does not have life-threatening injuries. Shoreline Police blocked the street during the response and investigation.

Seattle PD caught up to the suspect in his vehicle a few hours later. After a short pursuit, he crashed up near the train tracks off E Marginal Way/ Ellis Ave in Seattle.

The suspect barricaded himself in the back seat of the car and was threatening to kill himself. After a short standoff he surrendered and was taken into custody at 8:15am.

He has been booked into the King County Jail.
