A Seattle man is facing potential charges after he allegedly falsely reported to 911, claiming a young black male was brandishing a gun near a bus stop, authorities said.

“Well, I’m at the bus stop, and there’s a colored young man and I can see a pistol right there,” the caller, identified as Tamon Leverette, told the 911 operator, according to talk radio host Jason Rantz of MyNorthwest.
