Noah - a Hero!
Noah was driving home from Portland Friday after attending a professional bb game with some friends. It was about 2:30 in the morning when he finally exited on Island Crest Way, headed south to our house.
As he headed south on the deserted street, he saw a woman standing in the middle of the road. Her face was covered in blood. Noah pulled over, spoke to her, called an ambulance, the police and drove her to the North End QFC.
I'm so proud of my sweet boy!
Here's the news report:
A man who barricaded himself in a home near Mercer Island High School early Friday morning is now in police custody after officials locked-down several schools in the area.
Mercer Island Police Cmdr. Leslie Burns said officers responded to reports of domestic violence inside a home on the 4300 block of 87th Ave. SE at approximately 2:30 a.m. Friday, and found a woman who had been assaulted by her 36-year-old boyfriend.
The injured woman was transported to Evergreen Hospital, but the boyfriend was uncooperative and refused to emerge from the house and "barricaded himself inside". Police were unable to determine if the man was armed and remained outside the home until a hostage negotiator could arrive.
The hostage negotiator spoke with the boyfriend for nearly 2 hours and was able to talk him in to surrendering. The man then exited the home and was taken into custody without incident at 9 a.m.
Cmdr. Burns confirmed that no weapons were involved in the incident.
MIHS and a handful of other schools, including St. Monica Parish School, Emmanuel Day School preschool and others in the vicinity were placed in a "modified lockdown" as a precaution until the man could be arrested. They returned to normal operation when the suspect was taken into custody.
Mercer Island police say investigators will be completing the investigation and will file charges as appropriate.
