According to Sheriff Sanders with the Thurston County Sheriff's Office (TCSO), TCSO deputies, Tumwater Police Department officers, and East Olympic Fire firefighters responded to a single-vehicle high-speed collision on 93rd Avenue.

Man with Autism, Who Left Home Months Ago Without Phone or Jacket, Possibly Seen on Doorbell Camera, Family Says
Jonathan Hoang may have been spotted months after he vanished from his Washington home The 21-year-old man's family said they believe he was recently seen on a doorbell camera about 40 miles away from where he disappeared in late March Police ended search efforts for Hoang in AprilA man with autism may have been spotted on a doorbell camera months after he vanished from his Washington home, according to his family. Jonathan Hoang was last seen in Arlington at around 7:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, March 30, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) previously said in a news release. Late last month, Hoang's family said in a post shared on the "Help Us Find Jonathan Hoang" Facebook page that they believe the 21-year-old was recently spotted in front door security camera footage. Alongside screenshots of the video footage captured of who is believed to be Hoang, the family wrote, "This potential sighting was on NE 114th Lane [in] Kirkland," referring to an area over 40 miles away from Arlington. "Please feel free to share this information in all community groups and pages in the Kirkland and surrounding areas," the man's loved ones continued. The SCSO said in its prior news release that a relative of Hoang's said they possibly heard him leave the home around 5:30 a.m. on Monday, March 31, but it may have occurred earlier. He was reported missing later that same day. 'Jonathan has autism and he left the house without his cell phone and without a jacket,' authorities said. 'He left with his Wi-Fi-only iPad; it does not have cellular data.' A search for Hoang eventually began, and it later culminated with about 150 volunteers, ground teams, K-9 units, drones and the agency's helicopter involved. Police said "more than 4,000 man-hours were dedicated to the search, which spanned six days." The search was eventually suspended, and police said they would "continue to do periodic checks in the area and will follow up on all leads.' They added that Hoang's cell phone contained "nothing of evidentiary value." The sheriff's office said in its prior statement that Hoang is high functioning and takes public transit with his job coach and "has been working with his adult transitions program to gain skills for a job in Everett.' Speaking with NBC affiliate KING, Hoang's family said he may have trouble finding his way back home, as he has difficulty with problem-solving and shuts down during stressful situations. The man's loved ones have since set up their own search efforts, and a GoFundMe has been established for the family to aid them as they continue to try and find Hoang. Hoang's family did not respond to PEOPLE's request for an update. The SCSO asked anyone who has seen Hoang or has information tied to his whereabouts to immediately call 911.

False report of shooting scatters crowd of thousands from downtown Spokane just as fireworks start
Jul. 5—Thousands of panicked people in downtown Spokane to watch the Fourth of July fireworks fled Riverfront Park late Friday after false reports of an active shooter quickly spread through the crowd. Just after 10 p.m. before the start of the official fireworks, the big band MasterClass was finishing up its set in the Lilac Bowl, east of where Washington Street cuts through the park, when people began to rush from the western side of the park. Some yelled that there was an active shooter. With the band still playing, many of those sitting on picnic blankets in the Lilac Bowl began to flee in response, grabbing their children and belongings, as the official fireworks began. Meanwhile, someone with a microphone on the stage warned the crowd to take cover. A minute or two later, the fireworks were halted as sirens began to sound in the background. A "possible physical altercation near the clocktower" likely led to the false report of a shooting, Spokane police said in a news release. Officers, some in tactical gear quickly responded to the Clocktower. About 10 minutes after the initial rush of the crowd, police announced near the Clocktower that that there had not been a shooting and that fireworks would resume. The false reports of a mass shooter, causing panic at the annual fireworks display follows the shooting of three firefighters by an active shooter in Coeur d'Alene less than a week earlier. In May 2024, the Armed Forces Torchlight Parade in downtown Spokane was halted after a shooting at a convenience story along the route. Tara and Todd Huffman, of Nampa, Idaho, were in the Riverfront Park crowd not far from the Clocktower when they heard something that sounded like a firecracker. "Someone said, 'Did you hear that pop?' and then suddenly people just started running that way, in all directions," Tara Huffman said. The Huffmans didn't flee because they were confident that there was no danger, but they said at least half the crowd began to flee in short order. "They didn't even know what they were running from," Todd Huffman said. Some in the crowd said they experienced panic and rushing people. Others experienced an exit that was more orderly. By the time fireworks restarted before 10:30 p.m., there was only a scattering of people left. Even many of those still in the park who knew the report was false were no longer in the mood for patriotic revelry and continued to leave.
