Seattle, WALocal News

Seattle police are investigating a series of armed robberies that took place over the weekend, with notable incidents occurring at a Domino's pizza and a Chevron market. The first robbery at Domino's involved two masked suspects; one brandished a handgun and demanded cash, resulting in the theft of $300. The suspects fled the scene on foot, and despite assistance from a police helicopter and K-9 unit, were not located. Hours later, another armed robbery was reported at the Chevron market, where two suspects again displayed a firearm and stole cash and tobacco products, escaping in a silver sedan. In a separate incident, police responded to gunfire in the Central District, where evidence indicated shots were fired at a residence, although no injuries were reported.

The motivations for the robberies and the gunfire remain unclear, and police are actively seeking help from the community to identify the suspects. Local authorities emphasize the importance of public cooperation to enhance safety and resolve these incidents. The community is encouraged to report any relevant information that may assist in these ongoing investigations.
