The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

Multiple gunshots were fired into a house at about 7:30 p.m. March 1 on Northeast Second Street, including ones that struck in the laundry room where a resident was folding clothes.

Three young residents playing video games got down on the floor after hearing the shots.

No one was hurt, although there was at least one near miss.

No one could provide a reason for the shooting; the family isn’t involved in any criminal activity or gangs, and there are no disputes.

Five .40-caliber shell casings were found in an alley. Bullets struck a van and a chest freezer.

Two rounds passed over the van, penetrated a wall to the living room, crossed the living room and passed through a hollow-core door and into the laundry room.

SEAHAWK’S GUN STOLEN: A Seahawks player has reported that one of his handguns was stolen during his move last July from the East Coast  to join the 2014 training camp.

The handgun was among his belongings packed into a moving van; he discovered the missing gun when he unpacked. He didn’t report the missing gun immediately because he didn’t have its serial number with him.

When the season ended, he retrieved the serial number at home.

The handgun was reported into crime databases as stolen.

A BLOWOUT AT WALMART: A man with a leaf blower pointed it directly inside a car Feb. 25 where a couple were arguing loudly inside their car on Rainier Avenue near Walmart.

A witness told officers she heard the couple and the man, who was clearing debris from the parking lot, arguing.   The 18-year-old Renton driver then drove his car at the suspect, who jumped onto the sidewalk. He swung the leaf blower at the driver’s side window, breaking it.

The driver suffered cuts but declined medical assistance.

The suspect, who was wearing an orange reflective vest, wasn’t located.

DOG BITE: A Renton woman walking home on Harrington Avenue Northeast on Feb. 21 from the Highlands Library was charged by two dogs, one of whom, possibly a chihuahua, bit her on the leg.

The other dog was a large black Labrador retriever. The owners don’t know how the two dogs got out of the fenced yard.

The small dog was to be kept in quarantine at home. The owners were cited with leash-law violations and given blank animal-license applications.

WOBBLY AND SPEAKING GIBBERISH: A 24-year-old Renton man was taken into protective custody Feb. 23 at outside Walmart on Rainier Avenue after an officer found him wobbly and speaking gibberish.

The man told the officer he had ingested “spice,” which is synthetic marijuana, and cough syrup and been “huffing,” or inhaling something with a pen. Earlier in the day a second man was taken into custody in the general area for the same reason.

He didn’t want to go to a hospital, but the officer determined he needed care. There was also a caution attached to his name that in 2014 he said he wanted to commit “suicide by cop.”
