Yesterday Slog mentioned that the Mission Inn apartments had been hit by BB gun fire; located at Boylston and East Howell, the Mission Inn had a third-floor apartment's three windows and balcony door hit with a more powerful BB gun than we were allowed when we were a kid.

We had a server snafu earlier this morning, which kiboshed our Neighborhood News roundup. Here's a summary version: that student who was shot to death while wearing a Nazi uniform was a UW German Studies major, even in this real estate market, someone still wants to kick the B&O out in favor of a 75-unit apartment complex, and Cliff Mass says probably no snow today, but watch out for tomorrow.

Downtown Seattle turned into an Old West style stand-off this morning as SPD officers pursued bank robbery suspects driving a gold SUV. Shortly before 11 a.m., SPD officers surrounded the suspect's car on Spring Street between First and Second Avenues. While all the details remain sketchy, at shortly after 10 a.m., a man described as armed and wearing a mask held-up a West Seattle Wells Fargo on the 2300 block of California Street. SPD officers entered a pursuit as the suspect fled in a car driven by an accomplice. The chase first led through Capitol Hill and then downtown, where one of the suspects fled on foot near the intersection of First and Yesler before being apprehended. The driver continued on, leading to the eventual stand-off in downtown. Unwilling to relinquish the weapon or exit his car despite demands from officers, the SPD fired on the suspect, hitting him in the neck.
