The Seattle Fire and SPD response to 12th and Pike late Wednesday night was spurred by a report of a man in his 20s with what were believed to be self-inflicted injuries.
CHS received multiple reports and questions from readers about the incident and this picture of the scene from @bigbadboston.
We do not yet have an update on the man's condition.
While suicide attempts are not typically reported by the mainstream media, CHS believes it is an important community issue to include in our coverage. Here are two resources to help: National suicide-prevention hotline: 1-800-SUICIDE. Local Crisis Clinic: (206) 461-3222.
