Overview
- Seattle police say officers detained 21-year-old Marcos Campos Lezama around 7:20 p.m. near the Pacific Science Center after witnesses reported he opened his coat to reveal a loaded shotgun toward fireworks spectators.
- Lezama also carried a pistol and multiple rounds of ammunition, held a valid concealed pistol license, and was arrested without incident.
- The Seattle City Attorney charged him with unlawful use of weapons to intimidate, a misdemeanor; he pleaded not guilty and is being held on $10,000 bail, court records show.
- A police report notes mixed shotgun projectiles and foam hearing protection in his pockets, factors that led officers to believe he intended to use the firearms.
- Detectives found his vehicle nearby and the Arson Bomb Squad reported no explosives or additional weapons; he received a one-year trespass ban from Seattle Center.
