Arrest made as death is investigated

Seattle police arrested a man in his 80s Saturday in Southeast Seattle after a report that he had shot his son.

When police arrived at the house in the 4600 block of South Cooper Street about 7:30 p.m., the man walked into the front yard with the phone in his hand. After police placed the man in the back of a patrol car, they found a man in his early 50s dead in the bedroom. A woman in her mid-70s also was in the bedroom.

Seattle police homicide detectives are investigating, but no other information was available late Sunday, department spokeswoman Renee Witt said.

Heart Walk raises $2.3 million

Seattle upheld its record of having the largest Start! Heart Walk in the country Saturday when it raised $2.3 million for the American Heart Association. About 9,000 walkers turned out at Qwest Field for the 3.2-mile walk on the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

The Seattle event became the first Heart Walk in the country to have two company teams — Safeco Insurance and Washington Mutual — raise more than $300,000. Each team had more than 800 walkers registered.

King County Judge Michael C. Hayden accepted a Lifestyle Change Award at the walk after his commitment to healthy eating and exercise helped him lose 25 pounds and improve his back pain. Hayden and his co-award winners — Sirita Jacox, who works for Premera Blue Cross, and Eric Svenson, who works for Washington Mutual — were nominated by their co-workers.
