Brighton Beach: A man was shot in a robbery and attempted carjacking near the Brighton Beach neighborhood on Halloween, a police report says. According to the report, the man was driving down Rainier Ave S near S Willow Street at about 3:30 p.m. when he pulled over to take a call on his cell phone. As he was sitting in his car, a man in his 20s approached the vehicle and opened the passenger-side door. The young man then pointed a handgun at him and said "Give me  your money out of your pocket." When the driver said he didn't have any money, the young man told him to hand over the car. Instead, the driver tried to speed off, but the young man opened fire, striking the driver in the arm. The driver took himself to Valley Medical Center for treatment. The police report for the incidents seems to indicate that the man was less than cooperative with police. When officers asked if they could inspect his vehicle, the man told them "If you want to look at my vehicle I have to be present." The man also told police "he needed to talk to his people first before talking to police [about the shooting] again," the report says.

Northgate: The Seattle Fire Department's Station 31 near Northgate may have been the latest target in a string of break-ins at fire stations in the last few years. On November 3rd, police interviewed a firefighter at Station 31, in the 1300 block of Northgate Way, who told officers someone had damaged parts of a locked station door in an apparent attempt to make entry. In the last year or two, north end Seattle fire stations have been targeted in a series of mysterious break-ins. Typically, the burglars have made off with petty cash and money pooled by firefighters to pay for meals at the station. Nothing was taken in this apparent attempted burglary.

Rainier Valley: On November 3rd, police responded to a call at a South Seattle home on Renton AV S after neighbors reported a man standing in the street screaming and "bleeding profusely", a report says.The man told police that earlier that evening, two men had knocked on his door, and asked for a person who did not live at the house. When the resident said he didn't know who the two men were talking about, one of them pulled out a handgun and forced the resident into his home. According to the report, the resident told several officers different versions of the story. in one version he was beaten and knocked to the ground, in another he was simply instructed to lay on the floor. While on the ground, the resident was pistol whipped several times, gashing his forehead. The man provided police with someone confusing information about his assailants, first saying one of his attackers looked like his cousin, and then later changing his story to say he looked like his weed dealer. The report says the robbers took the man's wallet, keys, and Playstation 3.

Belltown/Capitol Hill:  Seattle police have apparently linked two recent burglaries to at least one motorcycle gang. In the first incident, on November 2nd, someone threw a rock through the front window of a Belltown shop in the 2300 block of 2nd Avenue and took $200 worth of wine. It seems like a run-of-the-mill smash and grab, but a police report indicates that the crime was carried out by a motorcycle gang. The next day, police responded to another break in at a store on 15th Ave E in Capitol Hill. The report does not indicate which shop. Officers, who arrived to the scene about an hour after an alarm was tripped, found that the business's front door had been pried off with a crowbar, and that the shop's cash registered had been broken in to pieces. Police also attributed this break in to a motorcycle gang, but reports do not indicate whether the two cases are related.
