Seattle police arrested five suspects, including four juveniles, after a 20-year-old driver was threatened at gunpoint near Denny Way early Sunday morning, triggering a pursuit that crossed multiple precincts before officers were able to take the group into custody.
Dispatchers received reports at approximately 3:08 a.m. that occupants of a vehicle had pointed firearms at a caller. Officers arrived in the 2900 block of 1st Avenue and made contact with the victim, who said he had been driving on the ramp to Dexter Avenue attempting to access Denny Way when a white minivan, possibly a Dodge, carrying four occupants pulled alongside his car. The driver of the minivan began driving erratically before stopping next to the victim’s vehicle at a stoplight, at which point two occupants pointed guns at him.
