Seattle Cop Kills Armed Man, Traffic Kills All of Downtown

Do not think about heading to Downtown right now, unless you’re going on foot.  And if you’re already Downtown, well, you’re gonna be there a while.  A Seattle police officer shot and killed a man armed with a knife near the intersection of Boren and Howell, so several streets are shut down, meaning traffic and buses are being re-routed.  It is not pretty.

(Thanks as always to Seattle 911 blog for being a reliable go-to resource in just these situations.)
