Ten wounded in car show shooting | News.com.au

TEN people have been wounded in a shooting at a car show in Kent, Washington State, The Seattle Times reported.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the La Plaza shopping centre where about 50 low-rider cars were on display.

No one was apprehended following the gunfire, which was reported about 4.15pm local time, and it was unknown if there was more than one shooter.

One witness told KOMO-TV that the shooting began when a fight broke out after a comment was made about the paint job on one car, but police would not confirm the report.

Another witness saw a gunman standing in front of the shopping centre firing across the parking lot and saw people fall to the ground.

Kent Fire Department spokesman Kyle Ohashi said the shooting victims were taken to a local hospital and some had managed to drive themselves to seek treatment.


There were 200 to 300 people at the car show, a couple miles south of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, when the shooting broke out.

Man oh Man... I hope this isn't true!! And supposedly over a paint job comment?!?!?! I'm speechless!! Can't even hang out anymore!! 8-(

Unfortunately this doesn't surprise me at all ....... the wounded count is now listed at 11 ........... the Seattle Police Gang unit has been put on the case as gang activity is highly suspected

Looks like it was gang related - and at a "low rider" show - and maybe racial if I'm reading between the lines correctly.

""I was out there chilling with a friend and somebody started dissing somebody else's paint job. And then some people came up together and then started started gangbangin'," said the witness, who identified himself as "Harrison."
