SHOTGUN FIRED: A 34-year-old Renton man grabbed a sawed-off shotgun from his backseat, loaded it and walked toward a house Feb. 15 on Shelton Avenue Northeast.
He left, then returned a few minutes later and neighbors heard a loud bang. Officers found a broken living-room window but no one inside.
Officers called a resident, who arrived minutes later with her two children. Her husband had rushed into the house to tell her to get out with the kids.
The wife heard yelling from outside and then one or two gunshots. The suspect screamed that he was going to kill her husband. He also threatened to shoot the man’s wife and two children. He left.
The couple strapped their children into their car seats, but he stayed behind in case the suspect, who was a friend of the couple’s, returned.
The suspect was later found walking on Northeast 24th Street at about noon. He was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of felony assault. He had about $4,850 in cash.
The two men had argued at the home of the suspect, who was upset because his girlfriend had left him.
ANGRY OVER TIRES: A customer at Sam’s Club on Grady Way became angry Feb. 16 when he was told he needed his wife’s membership card to buy tires.
A manager was called in to explain the store’s policies but the 49-year-old Renton man responded he didn’t care about the store’s policies. He needed tires.
He shoved the manager and kicked over a tire display. He threw a tire at the manager, hitting him in the chest, then did the same thing again. He told an officer he was really angry.
He was told the manager wanted to press charges against him. He said he wanted to press charges against the manager for mental anguish.
The officer explained that being rude or providing poor customer service wasn’t a crime but hitting someone with a tire was.
A citation for fourth-degree assault was sent to Renton prosecutors for review.
PEEPING TOM OR BURGLAR?: A 27-year-old Renton woman ran from her bathroom Feb. 9 after she saw a hand pressed against the window trying to open it while she was taking a shower.
Her husband found the man kneeling below the window, still trying to open it outside their apartment on Northeast Fifth Street. The screen was on the ground next to him.

A K9 unit attempted to track the man. It’s unknown whether the man was trying to peak through the window or break in.
