| Manhunt for murderer in Seattle right now Quote: Violent day in Seattle leaves three dead
Two were killed in a coffee shop, another shot in an attempted car-jacking
SEATTLE (NEWS1130) - Three people are dead and three injured after separate shootings in Seattle. Two people were killed and three injured when a man opened fire in a coffee shop near the University of Washington. Half an hour later a woman was killed in an attempted car-jacking downtown.
Ian Sterling with KOMO News tells us there's now a huge manhunt for the killer in the University District.
"We've had a couple of false alarms where SWAT teams have gone out and surrounded houses and then it turns out to be nothing. They continue to search using K-9 units. Basically we've been told the entire North Precinct of the Seattle Police Department are here right now. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of police officers, armoured vehicles, the entire works, This whole neighbourhood is in lock down right now."
Seattle police are asking people in the city to be vigilant as officers search for the suspects.
| Violent day in Seattle leaves three dead - News1130
been pretty crazy recently huh http://www.komonews.com/ << for better coverage
snippet of their coverage Quote:
SEATTLE -- Three people were killed and two others injured in a shooting at a University District cafe on Wednesday morning.
Police said a man opened fire at Cafe Racer, located at 5828 Roosevelt Way NE, at approximately 11 a.m.
Two men were pronounced dead at the scene, and a woman later died at Harborview Medical Center. Two other men sustained life-threatening injuries and were undergoing emergency surgery on Wednesday afternoon.
The gunman remains at large. Police said he is a white man between 30 and 40 years old. He is believed to be 6-foot-1 and of thin build with curly light brown hair and a goatee or a beard. He was last seen wearing a white and brown plaid shirt and dark pants, and was seen headed north as he ran from the scene.
A witness told KOMO News that moments after shots rang out, "a woman ran down the streets and yelled to get back inside; (she said) there was a man with a gun."
Officers have cordoned off the shooting scene and are searching a wide area for the armed man.
"We are asking folks to be on guard and not to open their doors to anybody they don't know," said Assistant Police Chief Nick Metz. "We're focusing our search in the immediate area, probably a good 10 blocks out. We don't have a good idea of where he may be."
It was not known what prompted the shooting, and no information about the victims has been released.

I wonder if Seattle is one of those cities that were granted Drone licenses. It'd be nice to see this in action to help catch the crazy mofo.
Sidenote: I think around 30,000 licenses were granted in the States for Drone use. From Police/Gov't Agencies to Unis.

For some reason, the first pic in OP's post reminded me of
"Swat came to my house, disrespected my whole family..."
