At some point, one officer fired their weapon, striking and injuring the suspect, according to police.
That same officer was injured by the suspect before they were taken into custody, police said.
Based on the Seattle Police Department’s exit from the Federal Consent Decree in September 2025, the Seattle Police Department must now adhere to Washington State law for any use of deadly force by an officer.
SPD is subject to an independent investigation led by the Independent Force Investigation Team of King County (IFIT KC). All further information related to this investigation will come from that office.
The suspect is now in custody and receiving treatment for injuries at the scene, police said.
KOMO is closely following this developing situation as police continue to investigate.
