History
On November 3, 1999, Seattle resident and shipyard worker Kevin Cruz shot and killed two people and injured two others in a workplace shooting at the Northlake Shipyard. The gunman, who was described as a "loner" by neighbors and had a long history of criminal convictions, initially escaped, leading to a manhunt that included police cordoning off the surrounding area and doing a door-to-door search of the neighborhood. Cruz was finally captured and arrested about two months later on January 4, 2000.
