SEATTLE —
A man police shot on Sunday afternoon in Belltown near Fourth Avenue and Cedar Street has died.
King County Sheriff Sergeant John Urquhart told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Alison Grande that the man died at Harborview shortly after he arrived.
Seattle police confirmed at a news conference that the man was a suspect in the homicide of an 84-year-old man at a storage facility in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood.
Earlier, police sources confirmed the connection to KIRO 7.
At the press conference, Mark Jamieson of the Seattle Police Department said the suspect had been using the dead man's credit cards at stores around Seattle, and that detectives had video footage and photographs of him.
Jamieson said detectives were investigating the brutal attack on the public storage facility worker when they encountered the suspect in Belltown Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter David Quinlan they watched officers open fire just before 2:30 p.m.
Jamieson said police shot the man after he charged at them. Jamieson says he did not know how many times the man was shot or whether he was armed. He did not have the man's age or identity.
Urquhart said technicians are comparing the Belltown man's fingerprints with those found at the public storage facility.
Because Seattle Police homicide detectives were involved in the Belltown shooting, the King County Sheriff's Office has been asked to investigate, said Urquhart.
King County Metro Transit buses are being rerouted around the scene at 4th Avenue and Cedar Street.
Multiple KIRO 7 crews are on the scene.
