Café Racer in the University District of Seattle, WA - 5 Killed 1 Injured - May 30, 2012
On May 30, 2012, just before 11:00 a.m., Stawicki walked into Café Racer in the University District of Seattle, Washington. The staff there recognized him from being thrown out, police said, and reminded him of that. Stawicki lingered for a bit, and then walked near the door. He pulled one of his two pistols, both .45-caliber handguns, and shot his first victim in the back of the head. The man's body blocked the door, taking away an escape route. One man fought Stawicki, throwing a bar stool at him and using another bar stool to fight him. The distraction allowed two or three people to escape through the door the shooter had blocked. Stawicki then went near the bar and shot the others execution-style, police say. As he left, Stawicki took a hat from one of the victims. Stawicki killed four patrons and wounded the café's chef. Half an hour later, he killed another woman in a parking lot next to Town Hall Seattle on First Hill while carjacking her SUV. Later that afternoon, he committed suicide on a sidewalk in West Seattle as police closed in.[5] The perpetrator previously owned six handguns (three 9mm handguns and three .45-caliber handguns), including the Para-Ordnance pistol he used in the shootings. As a result of the shootings, several schools, including Roosevelt High School and Nathan Eckstein Middle School, were put on lock-down for student safety.
During the February 2008 case, police officers were called to the Magnolia home of Stawicki and his then-girlfriend to find the victim with a bloody nose and crying. She told police that he had struck her and destroyed several of her belongings, and that in recent months, he had begun breaking things and flying into rages, according to the police report.[3] Stawicki's father, Walt Stawicki, described his son as very private person who was "disgruntled" and had been a frequent customer of the coffee shop where his rampage began.
