Police revealed Monday afternoon that the person killed was a teenager.
SEATTLE — A 14-year-old boy who was spray-painting a building was hit and killed by the Seattle Center Monorail Sunday night.
Surveillance video reviewed by the Seattle Police Department shows the boy was spray-painting graffiti on a building next to the tracks before he was hit. In 1971, 27 people were hurt after the train slammed into a steel girder. More recently in 2004, a train caught fire after an electrical wire in the motor reportedly shorted.
