Armed Robbery Suspect Fires Shots Before Fleeing

On 12/16/2022 at approximately 1:06AM, Tukwila officers were dispatched to the 76 gas station at 13310 Interurban Ave S after receiving a report of an armed robbery in which shots were fired.

Multiple officers rapidly responded and discovered that the suspect had already fled the scene immediately following the incident in a dark colored sedan.

The suspect entered the business, immediately fired a shot then proceeded to fire several more while threatening the clerk and before fleeing with an undetermined amount of cash from the register.
