On March 27, 2019, Robert Bob Michael Hassan, a 76-year-old White retired Air Force surgeon, was shot and killed in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. According to reports, a 33-year-old man approached and shot a woman in her car and fired at a Metro bus, wounding the driver, before encountering Hassan near Northeast 123rd Street and Sand Point Way Northeast. Hassan was driving a red Toyota Prius when he was fatally shot and the shooter then stole his vehicle.

The suspect fled in Hassan’s Prius but collided with another vehicle near Northeast 120th Street and Sand Point Way Northeast. The other driver, a 75-year-old man, was killed in that collision. Police, already responding to the shootings, apprehended the suspect at the crash scene at about 4:34 p.m.; he was treated for minor injuries and taken into custody after hospital discharge. Hassan is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren and was remembered by family who shared photos with the media.

Does anyone in the Lake City area remember seeing a red Toyota Prius or any of these events on the afternoon of March 27, 2019?
