Seattle Police say a dog-walker in her 80s was carjacked, dragged, then run over with her own car on Tuesday morning.
Investigators say the suspect then drove away, leaving the woman with fatal injuries, and the Madison Valley neighborhood shattered. While police try and find the suspect, neighbors are describing how the terrifying moments played out. "I heard some commotion and screaming. It sounded like a crash," said Laura Dynan, a neighbor who witnessed the carjacking.
A dead dog was also found with what may have been stab wounds. The dog's body was located in or near a blue recycling bin in the park."There is no reason to attack a helpless animal," said Brian Robertson, who lives near Brighton Playfields. Robertson is a park regular who owns a dog himself. He said the crime was reprehensible. "It’s a little shocking to be hanging out in your local park and hear about a carjacking and a dog stabbing," he said.
