Citizen arrests can be dangerous, but in this particular case, everything turned out alright.
An argument between two men led to a shooting near the U.S. Bank in the 7600 block of 126th St. in Skyway on Saturday, but a man in a nearby car came to the rescue.
Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s office says the passerby held the shooter at gunpoint and apprehended the suspect with his own pair of handcuffs before police arrived at the scene.
“This guy did a great job, but we don’t recommend doing that,” Urquhart told KING TV on Saturday. “You certainly do so at your own risk.”
The shooting victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
