Seattle police officers fatally shot a man Saturday who "reportedly rammed his car into the Federal building and fired a rifle downtown," the police department said. Police responding to multiple 911 calls reporting gunshot sounds Friday evening found the man "where he had crashed his vehicle into the Federal building," the Seattle Police Department said in a release.
Officers tried to speak with the reportedly still-armed man, according to the release, and "for reasons that remain under investigation, opened fire striking the suspect." The man died at the scene. Police have not released his identity.

That’s weird. Was it in the daytime or something?
Probably an Antifa guy disguised as a Trump supporter on a bad drug trip.
Amazing, I thought they would elect him mayor.
They have no problem with antifa/blm riots where people are assaulted and killed, and buildings destroyed, looted, and burnt down.
They get really worried about citizens who appear to be revolting against the government.
Remember, under obammy, a woman (Miriam Carey) was killed by capitol police for driving into a security barrier after making a U turn. The incident was immediately stricken from the airwaves.
Local news coverage:
It was on a Saturday night—so the building would have been empty.
Here is the building:
It is a 1933 structure—I have been there—solid old stone construction.
This one sounds like a druggy to me.
Crashing a car into this very solid building would just damage the car.
Oops—the first link was not correct.
In related news, the state’s attorney general, “Side Show Bob”, sued the officer for use of excessive force /sarc
the one below that was funnier:
Detectives are seeking help identifying a man who pulled a gun on a clerk at a University District shop and stole a Billie Eilish Ukulele last month.
On February 1st the suspect entered a music store in the 1000 block of NE 50th St and robbed the clerk at gunpoint, taking a Billie Eilish Ukulele and $100 in cash.
Perhaps he was wearing a MAGA hat?
I am honestly surprised this type of behavior is still illegal in Seattle or Portland.
June 22, 1979.
Gee, ya think?

Either a conservative republican, or a clear case of mistaken identity.
Officers tried to speak with the reportedly still-armed man, according to the release, and "for reasons that remain under investigation, opened fire striking the suspect." The man died at the scene. Police have not released his identity.
He probably looked like Hunter, and they held their fire until they found out he wasn't.
“I have been there”
Oh, Oh
That’s a little weird. The Federal building has barriers up to prevent things like that.
At least they did when I worked there six years ago.
His biggest mistake was shooting a rifle downtown. Had he simply fired a pistol uptown I bet he’d still be alive.
Funny comments but he wasn’t shot for ‘ramming the building’.
No name, no political affiliation, no race, no age, no job, no rap sheet and no picture of the guy.
How did they determine if the person self identified as a man?
