As I'm typing this the situation is ongoing. It's been going for about an hour now. There is a guy on a boat in the harbor and he has some kind of high-powered rifle and has shot randomly across the harbor. The ferry between here and Seattle is on lockdown. There are multiple police units responding. I'm actually listening to the emergency frequency radio. A bunch of people that live here are also talking on Facebook. This is crazy! About 2 weeks ago this same guy was holed up in an apartment with a gun in a domestic violence situation, eliciting a massive police response. Clearly he was still able to get his hands on another gun or the ones he had weren't taken away. WTF?  ? This location is a few hundred yards from the ferry dock and within 100 yards or so of homes on both sides of the bay, restaurants, and other businesses. It's about a mile and a half from our house. It just got dark. I can't believe this is happening here. Crazy! |

Wonder how he got a gun or was let out of jail |

WTF! My best friend & her family lived on BI. They live off of High School rd.
I haven't heard from her. I just texted her as I know her teens are often out and about.
Stay safe!

So it's 1 a.m. and it's finally over. The guy came up onto the deck of the boat and looked like he was surrendering, then I'm not sure what happened, but he was shot. We heard he was being airlifted to a hospital in Seattle, but right now it's unclear if that has happened or if he didn't make it. No one else was hurt. Between people listening to the police radio frequency and people on shore nearby and a person on a neighboring boat, we've really had a play-by-play going on Facebook. Glad it's over and glad no one else was hurt.
I can finally go to sleep now. That's the kind of excitement I don't want, not here, not anywhere. It's a crazy world.

Very glad it is over.
What a day, this happening on Bainbridge and the guy on I-5 south of Tacoma that called 911 for a "suicide by cops".
