Description
Seattle police responded to reports of an illegal street racing event early Sunday morning, they were met with a crowd who interfered with the response.
Four people were shot during the event, according to police.
The Seattle Police Department said officers responded to reports of a large crowd gathering and vehicles driving recklessly at the intersection of Broadway and East Pike Street around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
“When we say that we met resistance. I think that leaves a lot to the imagination. I think when you actually see the video and you see the defiance and the aggression towards police officers and the willingness to jump on top of hoods of police cars and jump up and down and throw metal items. It gives the viewer the opportunity to see exactly what police officers are facing out here,” said Deputy Chief Eric Barton, Seattle Police Department.
