Released via the Seattle Police Department Twitter feed, officers shot a man yesterday at Greenwood Ave. N and Holman Road, who is suspected in yesterday's Shoreline bank robbery and a string of other bank robberies. Prior to shots being fired, officers had spotted the bank robbery suspect stopped in traffic at Holman and 3rd Ave. with a stolen pick-up truck. A team of police cars quickly began to box in the truck. Trying to flee, the suspect rammed the stolen pick-up into a police car and a car carrying a father with his kids at the corner of Greenwood Ave. N and Holman Road. Police fired four shots, stalling the suspect who sustained injuries to his arm. The family of three was uninjured. more ›

The cause of the crash has not been confirmed, but it did result in both riders being thrown a great distance from the bike, causing serious life-threatening injuries. It's a sad but strong reminder that summertime begs us to be extra careful, especially when more bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles are back on the road. more ›

Well, now Pluto is fighting back, or at least it's found a group to take up the cause: more ›
