A Seattle police officer shot and wounded a suspected bank robber in Greenwood earlier this afternoon after the man rammed a patrol car while attempting to flee from police.

According to SPD spokesman Jeff Kappel, officers spotted the 36-year-old man at about 5:30 p.m, driving a stolen pickup truck near 3rd Avenue NW and Holman Road NW. Police say that 90 minutes earlier, the man robbed a bank in Shoreline and believe he is also responsible for two other recent robberies in the Greenwood area.

Officers attempted to pull the man before he rammed his vehicle into a patrol car. One officer opened fire, striking the man at least once in the arm. The man sped off through an intersection, colliding with two other cars, injuring one driver and his two children who were taken to the hospital with minor injures. Police were then able to take the alleged bank robber into custody

  2. my friend was walking by right after, saw the suspect spouting blood from his arm and (I think) the freaked out dad in the SUV he hit. KOMO said the shooter was affiliated with an FBI task force.

  5. Greenwood/Holman/105th is Greenwood AND Crown Hill AND Broadview AND Bitter Lake. It’s where all four of them meet.

    So you’re both right. Untwist thy knickers already.

  9. Hey, Stupid White Man, are you the same stupid-ass piece-of-shit white man who makes the Ballard and Phinney-Greenwood blogs unreadable? You sure sound like him.

  13. @11— I grew up near Crown Hill so some of us do in fact know the area. However, both of those location listing are super incorrect. We regret the error.
