Several boats and the docks of a Seattle yacht club were damaged Sunday night by a half-naked man piloting a stolen boat.
Seattle Police say the 22-year-old man was high when he broke into the Queen City Yacht Club on Portage Bay, stole a 35-foot yacht, and then started ramming everything in his way.
He hit multiple yachts and the docks, all while people were on them. Detective Jeff Kappel said a man fearing for his life, grabbed a gun, and took a shot.
“He armed himself with a shotgun and fired at the suspect, striking the suspect in the head and the hand,” Detective Kappel said. “That brought the suspect’s actions to a halt.”
The suspect’s injuries are not serious, but he was taken to Harborview Medical Center. Police say he’ll face several felonies.
He was naked from the waist down when arrested.
