Masked suspects in Seattle are reportedly prowling the streets targeting high school students for their phones and other personal belongings, police reported. 'They all grabbed me and threw me on the ground and just kind of started beating me up and hitting me in the back of the head. I was down in the fetal position kind of covering my face,' a Ballard High School sophomore told KIRO 7 of one incident earlier this month as he walked home from school.
Ballard High School Principal Abby Hunt said in a recent letter to parents that she is 'working closely with regional school leaders and the district’s safety and security team on best practices in keeping our campuses safe,' according to KING 5.
