![]() ![]() The unity of these Late Gothic houses is affected in part by the uniformity of the bricks of which their walls are built: brick-making was a monopoly of the commune, which saw to it that standards were maintained. In the statutes of Siena, civic and architectural decorum was ordered :".it responds to the beauty of the city of Siena and to the satisfaction of almost all people of the same city that any edifices that are to be made anew anywhere along the public thoroughfares.proceed in line with the existent buildings and one building not stand out beyond another, but they shall be disposed and arranged equally so as to be of the greatest beauty for the city." The palazzi signorili that line the square, housing the families of the Sansedoni, the Piccolomini and the Saracini etc., have unified rooflines, in contrast to earlier tower houses - emblems of communal strife - such as may still be seen not far from Siena at San Gimignano. From the piazza, eleven narrow shaded streets radiate into the city. The Campo was and remains the focal point of public life in the City. The number of divisions is held to be symbolic of the rule of The Nine ( Noveschi) who laid out the campo and governed Siena at the height of its mediaeval splendour between 1292-1355. It was paved in 1349 in fishbone-patterned red brick with 8 lines of travertine, which divide the piazza into 9 sections, radiating from the mouth of the gavinone (the central water drain) in front of the Palazzo Pubblico. Siena may have had earlier Etruscan settlements, but it was not a considerable Roman settlement, and the campo does not lie on the site of a Roman forum, as is sometimes suggested. The open site was a marketplace established before the thirteenth century on a sloping site near the meeting point of the three hillside communities that coalesced to form Siena: the Castellare, the San Martino and the Camollia. And we’re really in the very early stages of this investigation.Gores of brick paving viewed from the Torre del Mangia So it’s the process is lengthy and it does take some time. They take the individuals who are involved and they separate them, and then they wait until they can be interviewed separately.Īnd so that’s where we are at this point, the investigative team is made up of 11 to 13 different agencies and so different detectives from all the different agencies will converge on the scene or around the scene, and then they spread out. So the process that happens in one of these investigative situations is the incident happens when there’s a law enforcement official that is involved in the shooting, and they lock down the scene immediately. So at this point, we’re trying to determine exactly who fired first. And at this point, we’re waiting for him to get out. And from what we were told he was in fairly good spirits when he got to the hospital. ![]() The sheriff’s deputy that was transferred to Harborview Medical Center is still in surgery at this time, but he is in stable condition. While they’re rendering aid to that detective, the sheriff’s deputy, they later found out that the individual inside was deceased.Īnd so at this point in time, we have the OLEO investigative team that is responding to process the scene to talk to everybody involved. One of the deputies was struck in the initial gunfire, the subject then retreated back into the residence. When they initially made contact at the residence, there was gunfire that was exchanged. This morning, three King County Sheriff’s detectives were serving an eviction notice here in Ballard. Meeghan Black, PIO, Independent Force Investigative Team King County, gave a statement Monday afternoon following the incident in Ballard. ![]()
