This is just another fine example of why it is important to always be alert and ready for any situation that may come about. The good guy was from out of town, on business or shopping, and enjoying the day when he was attacked. If he were not armed, we might be talking about a victim, instead we are talking about a citizen who utilized his right to keep and bear arms to protect himself.SEATTLE - A fight between two total strangers led to a fatal shooting in downtown Seattle Saturday morning.
It happened at Fourth Avenue and Pine Street, at 11:30 a.m., in the heart of the shopping area.
Police said a man who was visiting downtown and minding his own business was brutally attacked by a stranger. But the victim of that attack had a gun and license to carry it. So he shot his attacker.
Police said they received complaints about a man who had been harassing shoppers about a half hour before the incident. But the suspect then began assaulting a complete stranger, kicking him repeatedly.
“We heard a loud noise, we looked out the window there was a black man standing over somebody with a gun in his hand then he was walking around. And he was saying: ‘I shot him,’” said witness Annette Johnson.
One interesting item of note in this article: The police were called about the man harassing shoppers thirty minutes before the good guy was forced to shoot him, they had thirty minutes to put a stop to this harassment.
