Seattle, Washington: The killer who was suspected of cafe shooting, killing three people, in Seattle’s University District has shot himself in the head, police said.
“When the officers and SWAT started vectoring in on the suspect, the suspect saw uniformed officers, he apparently knelt down in the middle of the street and put the gun to his head,” Seattle Police Assistant Chief Jim Pugel told reporters, ABCNews.com reported.
Earlier, a man killed two people and injured other as he opened fire at Cafe Racer Espresso. The injured later died at Harborview Medical Centre.
“The four that came in, they all had suffered from gunshot wounds to the head,” said Susan Gregg, a hospital spokeswoman. “So, that’s what we’re dealing with now. And, you know, they’re very critical injuries.”
Police scoured the surrounding area for the suspect, who fled north and was believed to be carrying a semi-automatic rifle.
The motive of the shooting remained unclear.
