Suspect killed, employee injured after shots fired during robbery attempt in Ballard
Police are investigating after a suspect was killed and one person was injured during an apparent robbery in Ballard on Monday evening, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Just after 4 p.m., officers responded to a reported shooting at King Smoke Shop in the 7700 block of 15th Avenue Northwest.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found two men with gunshot wounds — an employee inside the business and a man outside the store.
Police say their preliminary investigation indicates that a 29-year-old man attempted to rob the store, then shot a 38-year-old employee. That employee then fired back, striking and injuring the suspect, who left the store after the shots were fired.
Community members provided aid to the employee, using their belts as a tourniquet, before police arrived. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center to be treated for multiple non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Really poor victim selection skills. BZ to the citizens who stepped up to provide advanced first aid to the employee.
Video shows off-duty Chicago cop in deadly shooting of assailant: ‘I told you I’d shoot you’
Leevon Smith died in a hospital two days after the shooting
By Emily Robertson | Fox News
Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) released multiple third-party videos Thursday of a fatal encounter between an off-duty city police officer and an unarmed alleged robber, along with audio recordings of 911 calls from the incident.The incident took place Jan. 18 when a female police officer walked out of a building to break up what appeared to be an argument involving four people.
The fight between the four men took place in the 1300 block of West 90th Street.
The four individuals can be heard in the video arguing as they shouted over one another. The officer tried to intervene. At one point, the officer tries to tell them that it was “OK” and to “calm down.” Three of them walked away, but Leevon M. Smith, 39, stayed behind.
The two were speaking, and as the officer turned to walk away, Smith allegedly grabbed her from behind and grabbed her gun to try and disarm her.
“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you,” the officer warned Smith. She was trying to wrestle herself free from Smith’s grip, and they both fell to the ground.

Smith’s family filed a lawsuit against Chicago and the officer for $10 million.

Michael McGough
Police shot and killed an armed suspect Tuesday night at an Elk Grove motel, authorities said.One officer opened fire at a male suspect shortly after 11:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express at 9175 West Stockton Blvd., the Elk Grove Police Department said in social media posts.
The suspect was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries, police said. No one else was injured.
The incident began as a disturbance call at the Holiday Inn Express, department spokeswoman Officer Cristina Gonzalez said, where employees reported a man behaving erratically and brandishing a firearm.
“The suspect grew angry after being told a room was not available, and then began grabbing the phone from the employee (calling 911) and hanging it up,” Gonzalez said.

The suspect didn’t actually stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
A change in leadership is required to produce a change in outcomes.

And now the Holiday Inn perp has LOTS of room. In the morgue, and soon, -6 feet AGL in a local cemetery.
The Seattle perp got “smoked” in a smoke shop. Fitting.
Wonder what Elton & Bernie would make of this new Shit-Congo “Leevon”?
Leevon should have left off.
Saw the attack on Seattle news. The lady cop was justified.
True, but far from professional..
“reported shooting at King Smoke Shop”
Smoke em if ya got em…..
Three perps, three graves. Perfection.
Gotta love a trifecta of DRTs, FIRST (ht2 Chip) thing of a morning. Three prime examples of folks that fornicated about and discovered. The gene pool, air, and society as a whole is just a tad bit cleaner today.
As I contemplate making a provision run to the little big town I reflect back on the prices I paid for basics (and the well stocked shelves) during the past administration, I bemoan how much more the bill will be.
Hmmm, I do have a spare pocket on the vest that I wear… Might not shoot yer eye out, Kid, but you shorely might take off the tip of your finger.
If you get the .22 magnum version, it sounds like a .38 when you shoot it. Accuracy at any range is problematic and by 20 yards just hitting a big silhouette is difficult. But at navel-rubbing distance it works fine.
I’ve shot the LR version, and agreed, it’s no long range weapon, but close up, it is kinda fun.. and easy to pop in a watch pocket..
You could really piss somebody off with that little thing.
Welcome to the Holiday Inn Express. You can checkout any time you want, but you can never leave.
Left/libtards at it again… Democrats wants to restrict ammo sales to Americans (no online sales, ID required and report filed for purchases of 1000 rds or more):

It’s not about guns, it’s about control…
Da, comrade, is always whole plan!
Well, when you have your heart set on the Continental Breakfast at The Holiday Inn Express, nothing better get in your way.
Things are so bad ’cause the stakes are so low.
Q: What time is checkout at the Elk Grove Holiday Inn Express?
A: 23:30. Be sure to ask for a wake-up call.

I love how the shitbag says ‘that he’s sorry that he tried to rob you.” turd
O/T but a FGS just the same. Raised on this date in 1945…
Left/libtards scream how “racist” and problematic it is now.
Why weren’t any women, or those who identify as women, in the photo? And why did they raise the racist American flag and not the all inclusive Rainbow flag?
As to a Native American, Ira Hayes, being included, the Marine Corps only included him as a token. Not one left handed Eskimo albino in the group.
Do you remember a place called Eskimo Nell’s?
