Summary
Seattle’s Police Chief Shon Barnes canceled a high-profile interview meant to address his department’s response to a deadly shooting at Seattle Center — instead, his office dropped calendar records revealing he was out of the city nearly 50 days between March and July, attending conferences and visiting family in Chicago. The shooting, which killed three and injured others, occurred while Barnes was in Dallas — raising alarms about communication failures and emergency alert delays. Despite his claims that reports of frequent travel are “grossly misstated,” the calendar shows trips to Detroit, LA, and D.C., plus multiple visits to Chicago, with Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis stepping in as acting chief during his absences — including the day of the shooting. The records leave unanswered questions about the purpose of each trip and how he manages his duties while traveling so extensively.
