POLICE REPORT: Couple would rather kiss than tell
Posted by John de Leon
-- From Times staff reporter Christine Clarridge:
A man and woman were sitting in a car on Beacon Avenue South early Sunday morning when they saw a group of kids throwing gang signs and then heard several gunshots. The couple considered calling 911, but decided on another course of action.
They "started making out instead," according to a Seattle police report.
Police were called to the Muslim Youth Academy at 11650 Beacon Ave. S. shortly after midnight in response to complaints about a group of 10 or more juveniles yelling, swearing, trespassing and being disorderly on the playground equipment at the site. When police arrived, the juveniles cursed the cops. One youth reportedly said, "Dog, don't let them catch us." as they fled.
When officers checked the area they found the amorous couple sitting in a car on a dead-end street. "The two were thinking about calling 911 when they heard the shots but started making out instead," police wrote in an incident report.
