Seattle police arrested an 18-year-old man in the early hours of Monday morning in Capitol Hill after a security guard called 911 to report a man screaming death threats at another person, leading officers to detain a masked suspect carrying a firearm with a destroyed serial number.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. on 27 April, when a 911 operator received a call from a security guard in the 100 block of Broadway East. The guard reported overhearing a man threatening to kill another person, with screaming and what sounded like begging audible in the background. Officers arriving at the scene found a man in a ski mask fleeing the area and attempting to conceal something in his waistband.
