Twenty-two apartment units are being called a total loss after a massive fire at the Colonial Square Apartment Homes in Bellevue
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Twenty-two apartment units are being called a total loss at the Colonial Square Apartment Homes in Bellevue, according to a regional property manager on site Wednesday.
Court documents said the suspect stacked furniture up against the windows and doors before starting the fire at his father’s apartment. During the SWAT negotiations, officers heard the smoke alarms beeping and that’s when they finally forced their way inside. Three officers had to be treated for smoke inhalation but were okay.“I don’t have no home. My clothes – fire. My bed – fire,” Wright said.
Wright said his son, who is on medication and does not live at the apartments, showed up at his home Tuesday afternoon upset about something. Court documents said the younger Wright was also involved in a robbery about a mile away in the 14700 block of Northeast 20th Street around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. Bellevue Police said he was confrontational with staff, demanded property, stole an electronic device, and threatened employees before taking off.
