[Traffic Cam] Shooting leads to SWAT standoff
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- On October 16th 2021, Seattle police responded to a shots fired call near 12th and Jackson. They found two people had been shot - a robbery victim, and an uninvolved bystander who'd been walking past while holding her child (the child was ok).
Witnesses stated that the suspects had run southbound on Rainier Ave, and SPD officers spread out to search the area. An officer spotted the suspect at a gas station less than a half mile from the shooting scene, and other officers quickly swarmed the station.
It started out as a fairly chaotic scene, with a lot of people wandering around and taking pictures while "down range" (ie, in front of where the officers were pointing their weapons at the suspect's vehicle). There was also a disabled bus right next to the suspect's vehicle - that bus driver eventually bailed out of a bus window and was rescued by a Metro supervisor (10:17).
There was some confusion over whether the suspect had keys to the vehicle he was in. At one point, I heard radio traffic about the vehicle starting up, but the vehicle never moved and the suspect continued to demand keys from the officers on scene.
The Hostage Negotiation Team arrived and spoke with the suspect by phone, and SWAT used two Bearcat armored trucks to box in the suspect's vehicle. The suspect finally surrendered after an approximately 2-hour standoff. The suspect is allegedly a known gang member, and had a warrant related to a prior robbery.
I captured footage from 4 different traffic cameras for this video. Sorry about the video length - I did manage to trim it down from an hour and forty minutes of raw footage. Sorry also about the occasional shakiness of the camera - I tried to fix it in post, but it didn't really work.
Video highlights:
0:00 - Units arriving on the shooting scene
3:37 - SPD gets a better suspect description, and the suspect is spotted
4:20 - Multiple units pulling up to the gas station where the suspect was seen
8:45 - People spending way too much time in the line of fire
10:12 - Metro supervisor rescues bus driver
11:30 - Newly arrived cruiser picks a bad spot
12:59 - SWAT starts arriving
15:51 - The suspect has demands...
17:49 - Suspect finally surrenders

15:55 - "Suspect is asking for things that we can not give him, to include marihuana and intimate relationship with his girlfriend before he goes to jail" :D
😂 Hey, if you don't ask you'll never get it... thanks for watching!
It's just funny to me how the other bystanders are just walking by while they hear shots being fired.
Because its an hourly occurrence in fuckin Seattle
The scene was under control until people with a massive lack of situational awareness started getting in the way of things.
I hate it so much when people just stand in the line of fire because they want to watch
its right next to a weed store XD
8:42 no one gonna talk abt the floating bird 💀
Lmfao that Raven or bird watching the whole thing was my favorite part... he was on that electric line thing 💀
You can clearly see the line when car drives under it. It's quite thin so it looks like invicible against that road
People are so clueless of their surroundings.
Yeah, it was kind of scary to see...
AMEN!
@@SeattleTrafficCams that patrol car pulling in was way worse than the citizens watching/recording.
They’re not even clueless. They know exactly what’s happening and most likely know the dangers but are too in the mindset of “It can’t happen to me”.
@@Lisa1111 people seriously say amen to anything and everything
5:22 I enjoyed watching how the traffic managed to keep moving until cops completely blocked it.
Lol, leave it to Seattle drivers - if they can possibly squeeze through, they will...
Meanwhile the bus driver trying to turn right can’t because there’s no space
dumb cops - awful positioning of the police vehicles esp the one in the middle of the road with no emergency lights on (woman cop of course) - block the gas station entrances at least....
@@jonp2338 ?
@jonp2338 can't be any more sexist I guess xD
Get better are treating each human as a individual rather than the way you do.
The traffic in this makes me so damn mad. If a ton of police start showing up and pointing their cars around with yelling, I'm leaving. I ain't trying to be a collateral or a statistic.
the guy at 6:00 in black with a shopping bag looks like he wants in on some collateral statistic action...
5:19 That prius not giving a fuck and still turning into the gas station
There were *so many* people downrange - it was crazy. Thanks for watching!
0:24 anybody else catch the person nosediving the pavement?
I couldn't catch him. It is not physically possible for me to reach through my screen to catch him in my arms.
@@ToastyDino At least you tried.
😂😂 by the purple van
Probably a fentanyl user
I see him trip from something by that pole
anyone else notice the bird seeming to float at 8:40
It's the magical Seattle crows! Thanks for watching!
Honestly I like this air view better just cause you get to see everything going on in the area, but I like body cams too dont get me wrong
It's crazy that pretty soon we'll have all of these angles available for pretty much every crime.
Great job covering this incident!
Thank you! I was hoping to get it up earlier in the week, but it wasn't in the cards this time. Thanks for watching!
Very cool catch! Unfortunate. Hopefully the victims are okay.
Thank you! The victims' injuries were not life threatening, so that was good to hear.
I used to pick up food right in the parking lot at Ten Sushi. A really bad area anymore just like most everywhere else near town.
My city will never recover 💔😣
It's been a few years since I've been to the ID/Chinatown, but I heard it's gotten really bad lately. It's s shame.
the guy at 5:14 really wanted to catch that bus!
Lol, good eye. I've never wanted to catch a bus bad enough to run downrange...
that officer that pulled into downrange is soo and at driving tf. like I was so confused on what he was trying to do
Yeah, they seemed a little confused... thanks for watching!
8:39 is it just me or is that crow defying physics
love how in my coutnry, if you stand in there poking your nose and you get shot accidentally, youre the one who will be sued by the department😂
honestly bothering how clueless everyone is and just still drives thru everything lmaooo
Hey, just curious: How do you get ahold of the footage and radio communications? Do you submit a FOIA Request, or is there a different way you're able to find it?
Seattle actually has live streaming traffic cameras that anyone can watch: web.seattle.gov/Travelers/ - for the radio comms, I use one of the scanner apps online. Thanks for watching!
4:52 the yellow shirt guy just won the best WTF gesture
Lol, good eye. Thanks for watching!
01:28 birds were like: i m taking no chances.
In GTA V the whole traffic would be nuts
Well done LT for pulling downrange of the stand off lol
I think you did a great job, thankyou
We'd use the term broken-down bus, here in the UK, as we have extensive networks of buses for disabled people. A minor matter of pride in my CV.
Not sure if it was purposeful or not but I find it mildly humorous that the price of regular at that Shell station appears to be 4.20...right next to a weed shop.
Upon closer inspection it looks like it's 4.27 :
Listening to radio chatter seems like he asked for marijuana ;) 15:50
Nice catch man!
Thanks Anthony!
I knew this was Seattle before I saw the channel name lmao.
That was dumb of that officer to block in the bus. Knowing the subject is possibly armed
Seattle is such a beautiful place now
5:10 why are the 2 police vehicles just sitting in the middle of that street for no reason, they need more training on traffic control. They could’ve very well pulled into the gas station like all the other cops..!
What is your knowledge on police procedure and tactics?
I can't see what the other side looks like during this, but 1 cruiser did pull into the parking lot and the radio told them to back out as they were in the line of fire. Its even mentioned that the pedestrians were in the line of fire, it was a bit of a standoff. So police were avoiding to place their vehicles and themselves in the lot closest to the cameras POV.
Now you could argue they could have put police tape up on the sidewalk in the open lot, however I just google street viewed this gas station and it appears that IF they were to do that, they would have been in line of fire, as well as given the suspect a clear shot at any officer that puts their guard down for a moment to go place the police tape.
You think with the time they spent there they may have done this if it was logical at the time? Did you think to consider maybe there was a REASON they didn't do this?
Im not trying to be rude, I am simply pointing out that these people were living the situation, you were watching a 18 minute recording of it. So while we sit here safe at our computers its quite easy to make these judgment calls, but when your down there in the situation its a whole different ball game.
4:30 that’s such a cool view
Right? I was really glad I was able to capture that part.
how long does it take in the US for the police/paramedic to arrive ?
Here in Greece it would take at least 20 mins in an emergency, for non-emergency make it double to triple (3rd biggest city in the country).
It varies quite a bit, but in Seattle police response time is about 10 minutes for an emergency, and about an hour for non-emergency depending on the call / day. Fire department (which has paramedics) is probably closer to 5 minutes, depending on which part of the city.
Thanks for watching!
thats alotta birds 🐦🐦
Birds!
@@SeattleTrafficCams birds
8:35 crow just chillin midair on nothing
Seattle has magic crows!
8:31 that bird doing black magic
What was the first SFD unit on scene?
The unit at 0:49 was Medic 44, the Medical Service Officer.
@@SeattleTrafficCams Thanks a lot!
Love that people are all standing around even though even police all carry high powered assault rifles. If it kicks off you have no idea were bullets are going to be flying.
0:24 el señor que se cae en la esquina man jajajajauauju
First order of business: Block the road!
Block the road! Thanks for watching 😀
I remember that guy and his girlfriend come through trying to 💪 people, took dude phone, told him to back up,or get shot,he didn't want to so he got shot in leg, unfortunately an innocent elder lady leg was shot off below knee to,when coming out of store, always be aware of surroundings people are evil these days
If I was stuck in that traffic too my anxiety would've shot tf up once I see that bearcat pull around the corner
15:55 I don't know man. You kinda bit the big one with those demands when you put yourself in this situation.
So dude shoots people, then stops 2 blocks away to get fuel and snacks??
Lol, yeah, it wasn't the best planning on his part. But, I guess if he was smart, he wouldn't be robbing people with an active warrant for robbery...
@@SeattleTrafficCamsVery True! Thanks for the Video, definitely one of the best, most intriguing I've seen.
@@nobodysbusiness I appreciate that - thanks for watching!
6:26 ah yes, there might be a soft police roadblock on the road, but i need to go this way.
Lol, yeah - I see that a lot on the traffic cam. If they can squeeze by, they'll try. Thanks for watching!
Anyone remember the opening scenes from predator 2 ? Lol
these people standing around there, are so dumb... I would never think of standing behind an aimed on target
US media blows my mind. How was this not all over the news?
US is huge with lots of people and lots of gun. Shootings happen quite literally every day in my city
That wire the crow is sitting on at the bottom left really blends in well with the road huh. Makes you wonder if the bird was a fake before seeing the wire
8:46
Yeah, I definitely did a double-take the first time I saw that. Thanks for watching!
The real crime here is $4.20 a gallon
avg day at the coffee shop in crim
Alguien mas noto el hombre que se tropieza en la vereda del lado de la derecha? Justo cuando pasa la furgoneta color violeta 😂
4:50 imagine being that Chevy driver and 6 police officers draw their guns on someone Infront of you
Ha I’ve been in a situation just like that! It’s pretty terrifying and my dad yelled at me for not ducking
SEATTLE. COME ON. ENOUGH WITH THESE SENSELESS SHOOTINGS
The marijuana shop is right next door. C'mon, man!
I like how the police block the road and cars just go around like "fk it I'll risk being shot" to save the 3 minutes.
I like longer videos
I appreciate the feedback - thanks for watching!
Me too, if it's a longer video I may not watch it as soon as it's released, but I will get to it within a few days when I have time.
A terrible contaiment of the area , who was in charge of it needs his knuckles rapping for letting bystanders walk through in the line of fire of the incident and traffic driving to close to the scene too .
People think it’s tv
I was watching this to good job
this is the most american thing i've seen all day.
Lots of these issues range from lack of police securing the area. This should be done early on to navigate traffic and pedestrians ... instead they let traffic get through because no police were helping traffic gtfo.
13:24 perfect example of how NOT to react when you see emergency services. All the cars just stopping where they are, in the middle of the street, they would have been much less of an obstacle to the police car if they just kept driving normally. Especially the silver car in the right lane, wtf?
Not really. They are more predictable when stopped. Those people did an ok job IMO. Moving aside and slowing down is a signal to the emergency services that you're aware of them coming too.
@@rainey06au I disagree. I work as a firefighter myself and I can assure you, people just randomly hitting the brakes (or speeding up trying to get away from you) is NOT being predictable. Especially when there's enough space as in the video, just keep going normally, that's being predictable.
All of this just because one guy had one gun
I hope my comment doesn't get banned, but this video really highlights just how stupid the general population is. Lack of awareness is really a tactful way of indicating severe stupidity.
I don't know if I'd equate a lack of situational awareness with stupidity exactly, but there are definitely some questionable choices happening... thanks for watching!
@15:55 he ask for Marijuana and to be allowed to have sex with his wife before he goes to jail , Gotta give the guy credit , nothing wrong with asking . Maybe he should have asked if he could shoot the other guy first ?
It always gets me mad how brain dead people act. Like a bunch of zombies just making horrible decisions.
I just saw a dude falling and i it was pretty funny
Its near the begining of the video
that good it end in a good way
Yeah, I agree, although I hope that guy gets put away for a long time.
15 mins for the swat to arrive, amazing. Quit your jobs!
Bearcats are pretty slow. Not sure what you want them to do beyond "be faster"?
the problem is to much police was get to him, no one will copse complete road and place! and bring the people away. all will catch and shoot them. bad tactic this time.
WTF? Most of those words are English, but that doesn't make any sense at all.
he was motioning gun shooting to his head? help him out by doing it for him and save tax payers money.
Lame
He asks about marijuana and his girlfriend 😅
Priorities, right? 😂
GTA V 5Star
Lol
When you defund police you hire officers that pull in to "down range"
@@cardinal6348 Please don't spoil the commentators narrative. He knows police procedure.
@@rolandmiller5456 hmmmm sure
Seattle has become a warzone.
bad driving the fire engine. blocking police units.... for what was FD there!?
Also videos like this are why I can't feel bad for victims. People just ask for it
Do they train to use common sense to know where they suppose to park so they don't block traffic otherwise others could get hurt from this situation? Parking in the middle of the road without an emergency light should be a ticket. Cool video and view but unprofessional. To all new recruits and current law enforcement this should be a good lesson for what you need to know.
Really who flows traffic through the middle of a SWAT scene?😂
Imagine trying to go to work or home on that bus and now the cops have locked it into the area that’s high risk, cops should of ordered it out of the area
The bus was broken down. What's your next great idea?
It's disabled
Don't get me wrong, I understand it's a volatile and chaotic situation, but I wish more officers had frame of mind to park OUT OF THE WAY. Before they blocked off the road completely, those two officers parked right in the road.
Maybe their intention was to block off the road, though it wasn't really a good spot to do it. But all those cars trying to squeeze through are even worse.
@@netii126 Traffic needs to move, it's not their fault. You really expect them to sit there, gridlocked for 30 minutes?
8:39 is it just me or is that crow defying physics
