Thank you, Sean. Breaking news now.
The teen suspect involved in the deadly bite of Seattle
shooting is being released from custody on home detention.
King County prosecutors just confirmed
this to Fox 13. This is the 15-year-old charged
with first-degree assault for firing a gun into
a crowd, as well as second-degree unlawful possession
of a firearm. Now, this morning's
ruling comes after a judge originally denied
the teen home release last month, and despite
objections from prosecutors
in the office there asking for a secure detention.
The state's asking the court to have conditions remain the same.
The state believes there's probable cause.
They believe the respondent is a threat to the community.
New court documents reveal stills from a video uncovered
by investigators showing multiple weapons
at a meetup before the bite of Seattle.
In the video, the teen suspect
and the weapon found on him after the shooting are shown as well.
Investigators say the gun he used does not match
the bullets removed from the three people killed in the shooting.
His attorney argued the 15-year-old has no criminal record
and has earned several certificates for attendance
and good behavior while in custody.
