Police from at least eight departments, Shoreline Medics, and two armored vehicles with King County SWAT teams converged in the Ballinger neighborhood on Thursday evening.

They were on 12th Ave NE and NE 201st, a quiet residential street.

Police were using a bullhorn to talk to someone in one of the houses.

    Is this related to the shooting off cedar way close to the MLT/LFP boarder last night? The street was blocked off and the police said someone unloaded a clip.
