Two arrested after 4-year-old boy killed in Queen Anne

Police arrested a man and woman in connection with the death of the woman’s 4-year-old child on Sunday night in Queen Anne.

Just after 10:30 p.m., officers responded, with Seattle Fire Department (SFD) personnel alongside, to the 100 block of West Olympic Place for an unresponsive child. SFD medics attempted life-saving measures, but the boy was declared deceased at the scene.
