A wild scene played out in Seattle’s Belltown district early Sunday morning, when a Corvette driver turned the tables on a carjacking crew in a fiery exchange of bullets and desperation. Just past 3 a.m., as the owner parked his sleek Chevy along First Avenue, a white sedan crept up, packed with four masked figures. Things escalated fast.
Two of them spilled out, guns drawn, demanding the keys. But this wasn’t some helpless victim—the car’s owner, legally packing heat, didn’t hesitate. Fearing for his life, he blasted off several shots, sending the would-be thieves scrambling.
Cops arrived to find a 14-year-old shot multiple times, bleeding out in the street. Rushed to Harborview in critical condition, he’s now under watch like a ticking time bomb. Then, like something out of a crime flick, an unnamed crew dumped a second suspect—a 20-year-old man—at the same ER, riddled with bullets. He’s hanging on, barely, with officers breathing down his neck. The other two? Gone without a trace, probably sweating bullets by now.
The Corvette guy? Detained, grilled, then sent home once detectives confirmed his side of the story. Seattle law’s got his back—if you’re staring down the barrel of mortal danger, you can light ‘em up, no questions asked. Well, some questions. But for now, the Robbery Unit’s piecing together what went down while the city sweats over yet another armed hijacking gone sour.
Carjackings here aren’t just risky. They’re a one-way ticket to up to 15 years behind bars, and if you’re dumb enough to wave a gun around? Add another seven, no parole. With thieves getting bolder and drivers refusing to play punching bag, this mess is a flashing neon sign of how ugly things are getting on Seattle’s streets.
