Shoot on Sight. No Knock. No Entry.
Armed men claiming to be police officers broke into a Boulevard Park home and held the residents inside at gunpoint Tuesday night, deputies said.
Detectives said three men posing as police forced their way into a two-level home through the front door, demanding drugs and money.
When they didn’t find what they wanted on the first floor, they headed upstairs. At least two of the men had guns, investigators said.

King said the thieves forced one of the residents to open a safe, then ran off with $2,500. They also took a pair of shotguns.
The men were inside the home for a total of some 20 minutes before taking off in a car.
No one was hurt, but the residents’ nerves were badly rattled.
A description of the gunmen was not available.
To be honest, Boulevard Park isn’t the nicest of neighborhoods within Seattle, so it is as likely as not that these thugs were preying on their own.
Yet another reason to not leave your shotguns in the safe.
