Holly e-mailed us this within the half-hour:
“Students, including my daughter, returning from school on the #73 Metro bus at about 3:15 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 22, saw a man get off the bus at Roosevelt Way and NE 95th St. with a gun stuck in the back waistband of his pants.”
“He was a white male, bald, 20-40, tattooed. He was walking north down Roosevelt. Police were notified.”
We’ve called the Seattle Police media relations officers for an update. They’re likely busy with the pedestrian struck by two cars on Aurora Avenue North near Green Lake early this afternoon. That incident halted all northbound traffic on Aurora; our news partner My Green Lake has the story.
While this may be alarming to see, it may also be perfectly legal. A concealed carry permit allows this. Whether or not this man had one is uncertain/unknowable.
