The SR 512 exits to 31st Ave SW are blocked in both directions for police activity. We expect this to be an extended closure. Use alternate routes. pic.twitter.com/b3jFSc3B71
The suspect was initially stopped in a car at an SR 512 on-ramp by the South Hill Mall. It’s unclear at this time if the suspect fired at deputies before being shot themselves.
A video obtained by KIRO 7 shows a large police response at 31st Avenue Southwest.
KIRO 7 has sent a reporter to the scene to gather more information.
