Police arrest carjacking suspect

Kent police arrested a suspect believed to be responsible for at least two armed carjackings in King County on Monday.

According to police, the first carjacking occurred at Bellevue Square around 12:30 p.m. when the suspect shot at a victim and stole her purse and vehicle.

The victim was not injured.

After driving away, the suspect was involved in two minor hit-and-run crashes on the State Route 520 Bridge.

It is believed the suspect drove to Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood, where the suspect shot a 38-year-old man in the leg and stole his vehicle.

The shooting was reported just before 1 p.m. near Eastlake Avenue East and East Lynn Street, according to Seattle police.

Within about two hours of the carjacking in Bellevue, Kent police arrested the suspect in Renton.

It is believed the suspect was responsible for a carjacking in Kent earlier in the morning, according to police.

More severe punishment is the only way to get rid of them. He almost killed several people and only didn't because they were lucky it should still count the same as murder because he will do it again and the next person might not survive
