Local businessman philanthropist Marcus Coleson was attacked on his yacht last Saturday. The assailants pulled alongside in an apparently heavily modified racing boat and opened fire with among other things, small arms, longbows, and armed drones. The attackers were repelled by Coleson corporate security contractors, but not without heavy injuries. Two security contractors are still recovering from heavy injuries, but are expected to survive.
Marcus Coleson was able to jump off of his yacht and swim to shore during the firefight. When the coast guard approached the attaching vessel fled north to Canadian waters. While evading pursuit, the vessel suffered from a chemical fire which quickly spread to an on board ammunition cache, quickly sinking the vessel. The coast guard is taking every precaution in recovering the sunken vessel.
Coast Guard and Mercer Island Police officials refused to speculate on the motive for the attack at this time.
