We asked Metro Transit Police if they would be willing to speak with us about public safety when it comes to transit.
The police chief agreed to talk but was told he had to get approval from either King County Metro or the County Executive’s Office. A spokesperson with King County Metro sent this statement in response to the shooting:
These incidents are isolated and rare, and we are grateful that the other passengers and our transit operator were not injured. As part of the approved budget, Metro continues to hire and expand the number of transit security officers that patrol our buses and transit centers. In the event of a security incident, transit operators inform the Transit Control Center who in turn notify local law enforcement. We are grateful to the Seattle Police Department and the King County Sheriff’s Office for their quick response.Neighbors believe that it will take a group effort to put an end to the violence.
