A Burien man accused of firing a pistol on a West Seattle-bound Metro bus has been charged with reckless endangerment and unlawful gun possession.
According to charging documents, David Dietrick was aboard the No. 125 bus trying to unload a cocked pistol in his backpack on May 19 when the gun fired. The 9 mm round ricocheted off the rear door, then hit another passenger in the leg.
It didn't cause a signficant injury
King County prosecutors contend Dietrick, 24, had been in a fight outside the McDonald’s restaurant at Third Avenue and Pine Street shortly before the shooting.
Dietrick allegedly told detectives he went home, armed himself and returned to the restaurant hoping to confront the man he’d been fighting. When he couldn’t find the other man, Dietrick boarded the No. 125 bus to return home.
After the gun went off, Dietrick and a woman who was traveling with him were arrested nearby after the driver stopped the bus. According to charging documents, Dietrick admitted to carrying the gun, which had been reported stolen.
“You need to let me go,” Dietrick allegedly told police. “I didn’t mean for the gun to go off. Look at the hole in the floor of the bus. I wasn’t even aiming it at nobody.”
Lamp noted that Dietrick, while in a holding cell, attempted to tell his female companion to admit to firing the gun.

Well, then.
Not guilty.
His parents must be soooooooo proud!!
If I wanted to kill him, I would have used hollow points.
Every once in a while I wish that the 8th Amendment had some exceptions written into it. This is one of those times.
I missed will be a good defense.
This guy needs to be kept away from plastic silverware let alone firearms.
And so he did, ladies and gentlemen. And so he did.
Assclown.
And people wonder how Obama could get elected!!
Read the whole story. The guy was previously convicted of a robbery, but never showed up to serve his sentence. Apparently no one was looking for him. Is it normal for felons to be allowed to report to prison on their own?
Who is this "Lamp?" Is his/her first name Amber?
ROTFLMAO!!!!

Nothing good comes from messing around with a weapon.
Why the heck is the dude spilling this to the cops? Getting the word out to the dude he was fighting with?
Double-negative much?
Wow, what a man. Worthless piece of dog drool. But then dog drool may be offended being associates with this jerk.
Another McDonald’s linked crime.
Need to get these McDonald’s’ off the street.
