The video does not show the shootout in detail, but multiple gunshots can be heard in the background.

One photo shows the suspect’s handgun. Two more photographs show the vest that stopped a bullet which struck Officer Elizabeth Kennedy.

Teenage suspects

On Friday, $75,000 bail was set for a 19-year-old male suspect in the robbery, who waived his right to appear in court. He is from Renton and is being held for investigation of first-degree robbery.

Another suspect is a 17-year-old female. She was expected to be in juvenile court Friday, but The Seattle Times reports that she also waived her right to appear in court. She is being held for investigation of first-degree robbery and third-degree assault.

Another 19-year-old male suspect died at the scene after exchanging gunfire with police and has been identified as Damarius Butts. The King County Medical examiner has determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds.

The three teens allegedly robbed a downtown 7-Eleven at gunpoint on Thursday afternoon. The incident led to a police chase and a shootout between Butts and officers. KIRO 7 reports that the incident began when the teens allegedly stole a 12 pack of Heineken, a bag of Chester’s Fries chips, a tube of BBQ Pringles, a box of chocolate donuts, and a bottled Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino. A total of $28.42 worth of snacks.
