Drive-by shooting results in 2 arrests

Two Renton residents were arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of being involved in a drive-by shooting in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, Seattle police said.

Around midnight, according to a Seattle Police Department news release, two suspects drove up to a residence in the 2000 block of South McClellan Street, broke windows out of two cars and fired several shots.

The resident told police that he and another person "have an ongoing problem" with the suspects.

Renton police were notified and arrested the suspects in the drive-through lane at a fast-food restaurant near downtown Renton; a gun was found in the vehicle's glove box. The two were booked into King County Jail for what were described as various weapons violations.

Worker survives electrical shock

A man doing electrical work Sunday morning at Boeing Field survived after coming in contact with a 4,160-volt power line.

The man, described as in his mid-60s, was working in an electrical vault shortly before 9 a.m. when his wrench struck the line. "The jolt sent him flying," Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore said, and his heart wasn't beating when Boeing fire crews called 911.

But by the time the department's technical rescue team arrived, the man's heart had restarted and he was conscious and breathing, Moore said.

The rescue team brought the man out of the vault after cutting most power to it and took him to Harborview Medical Center.
