Man Forces Entry into Seattle School, Leaves and Attacks Teens

 From KOMO news, a fairly strange story that occurred on Wednesday, October 8th:

Seattle police said a man was arrested after he forced his way into a high school, attacked a security guard, and pointed a gun at a teenager.

The 60-year-old man was walking his two dogs when he approached the school and “forcefully pushed past” the security guard to talk to the principal, who told him to leave.

A short time later, the man left the school in the 1700 block of East Union Street and walked to East Pike Street near 16th Ave, where he approached two teens sitting in a car.

With a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, the man began screaming at the teenagers, telling them they can’t park on the street, according to Seattle police.

While holding the knife, the man reached into the car and grabbed a 15-year-old boy by the neck. He also pointed a gun at the boy.

The teen managed to escape from the man’s grip and told him he was calling 911. The man then walked away with his dogs.

Police arrived and tracked the man to his nearby home. Officers said when they spoke with the suspect, who was under the influence, he claimed he had no guns. After getting a search warrant, officers found two guns in the home.

The man was arrested for investigation of burglary and felony harassment and booked into the King County jail. 

The school in question is Seattle World School which is housed in the former TT Minor building on Union. 

Staff forced him out of the building. I assume he didn't take out a weapon there. Apparently, there is video of the school break-in which I will try to get. 

SPD says the man was drunk. 

This has not been reported on by The Seattle Times and the district has issued no statement.
