SWAT team arrests deadly stabbing suspect after hours-long standoff in north Seattle
After a nearly five-hour standoff, Seattle police arrested a 51-year-old man who allegedly killed an elderly man in Seattle's Green Lake neighborhood Saturday. At around 11:45 a.m., police responded to the area after getting reports that a man was making threats with a knife in the 1100 block of North 84th Street, according to officers. Police arrived and found a man in his 70s suffering from life-threatening injuries inside a house. “When officers arrived, they found an adult male suffering from life-threatening injuries; they pulled that man to safety, and they provided emergency medical aid,” explained Eric Muñoz, a spokesperson for the Seattle Police Department. Despite all life-saving efforts, Seattle Fire Department crews pronounced the man deceased at the scene. “We saw the paramedic giving, trying to give somebody CPR, for about 4 or 5 minutes, and then they kind of gave up,” one witness described, while working across Aurora Avenue from the scene. The 51-year-old suspect then went inside what SPD called a group home, where the two men were believed to have lived, and presumably knew one another. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/crime... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: / komonews KOMO News on Twitter: / komonews KOMO News on Instagram: / komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: / komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: / @komonews Watch more top local news stories: • Video For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
