Seattle Police have released body cam footage of the moments leading up to the arrest of two 14-year-olds, and one 13-year-old, during the Chinatown Seafair Parade.
On Sunday, July 21, at 7:31 p.m., patrol officers responded to reports of three teens brandishing firearms near 7th Avenue South and South Weller Street.
Police located all three boys nearby and detained them. A handgun was recovered off of each person and two of the three guns recovered were reported stolen. Two of the guns were also modified with a Glock switch to be fully automatic.
On Thursday, the teens pleaded not guilty, and the judge released one of the 14-year-olds onto electronic home monitoring while the other two remain in detention.
Additional charges may be applied as detectives complete their investigation.
