Seattle police respond to a domestic dispute early Friday morning, resulting in a standoff with a man suspected of shooting his partner. The woman, reportedly his domestic partner, is in stable condition after being shot in the lower back, while the man, 53, died following a confrontation with officers who returned fire. Law enforcement is investigating the details surrounding the incident, which began around 4:50 a.m. in the 3200 block of East Madison Street.
Officers attempted to negotiate with the suspect but ultimately breached the residence after he barricaded himself inside and did not respond for over an hour. Officials are now determining whether the man died from police gunfire or a self-inflicted wound. Notably, this individual had a history of violence, having been convicted of a double homicide in the 1990s, further complicating the investigation.
