From the SPD Blotter:
Officers arrested a man Saturday in Northwest Seattle for selling narcotics and found six guns in the process.
On October 12th a man reported he had been shot in the hand while attempting to purchase narcotics in Mineral Springs Park. The suspect fled the park prior to officers arriving. Officers worked with the victim and were able to identify the suspect who is known to carry guns in the park while selling narcotics.
