BOULEVARD PARK, Wash. —
A masked customer attacked a Burien 7-Eleven clerk Sunday morning with a hatchet, slicing the clerk’s stomach.
Police say another customer pulled out a gun and shot and killed the attacker. The good Samaritan had been sitting in the store, drinking his regular morning coffee.

“That bit of unexpected humor flowed not from the pen of a screenwriter but from the desperation of Harrison Ford. His desire to spend less time on this scene and more in a washroom led to an actor-inspired script change that was ultimately worked into the film. “

Did you go to Tukwila often?
(Inside Seattle joke)
The article kept referring to the dead guy in mask with the weapon a customer. I sort of doubt it. No name meaning likely. ..
What’s a Tukwila? ;’}
I moved here from Alabama in the mid sixties. There was no Tukwila to speak of - it was all farmland. They should have kept it that way.
I like Sgt Cindi West. “...dead bad guy.”
Singh is a Sikh name. Sikhs are somewhat enigmatic. Theirs is a “militant” religion, and being in a professional military in any nation is very highly regarded by them. In India they are associated with the traditional warrior caste and have a highly decorate regiment that fought in both WWI and WWII.
They even have an assortment of religious weapons, mastery of which is very respected. But they also appreciate modern technology and weapons as well.
But they are also often middle class, and highly respect entrepreneurship and professionalism as a career. Their turban has a purpose, in that if anyone is profusely bleeding, it is used as field bandages. They are big believers in charity to all.
Oddly enough, with all that militarism, they also have a profound pacifist streak, especially in the US.
Those I know I do try to lobby that weapons are fine, and that they should carry and use them if needs be.
Or simply shoot the hatchet out of the persons hand. Folks do that all the time. /s
LOL, or "wound" him.
Shoot him/her in the “pinky toe”?

Quote from Harrison Ford himself: We were shooting in Tunisia, and the script had a scene in which I fight a swordsman, an expert swordsman, it was meant to be the ultimate duel between sword and whip. And I was suffering from dysentery, really, found it inconvenient to be out of my trailer for more than 10 minutes at a time. We'd done a brief rehearsal of the scene the night before we were meant to shoot it, and both Steve and I realized it would take 2 or 3 days to shoot this. And it was the last thing we were meant to shoot in Tunisia before we left to shoot in England. And the scene before this in the film included a whip fight against 5 bad guys that were trying to kidnap Marian, so I thought it was a bit redundant. I was puzzling how to get out of this 3 days of shooting, so when I got to set I proposed to Steven that we just shoot the son a bitch and Steve said "I was thinking that as well." So he drew his sword, the poor guy was a wonderful British stuntman who had practiced his sword skills for months in order to do this job, and was quite surprised by the idea that we would dispatch him in 5 minutes. But he flourished his sword, I pulled out my gun and shot him, and then we went back to England.
Although I think Dindoo is dead and Woondo was shot here a while back.
This guy may have been the father...I think his name was Diddoo, although the mother couldn't pick him out of a lineup of 46 local suspects.
They got him before he showed up to an anti-Trump Sanders rally.
What Caliber and load was used to dispatch the criminal?
They even went so far as to call him a "good Samaritan". Truly? Without promptly following the story up with an interview with the attacker's mom, explaining how he was just a misunderstood kid having a bad day? Wow. Sanity in Seattle media. Who would have guessed?
Determining the first should be as easy as asking at the local mosque or the one doing the most caterwauling.
They are probably wondering is they can get enough out of this guy to offset the costs of 'Big Bertha's' fiasco.
If the guy bought his ammunition in Seattle, they DID tax him - they have a 5 cent tax PER ROUND for the city that they added on!
This guy was very much within his rights and the law in Washington state. I don’t know how lawsuits work, but I doubt any attorney would take it on. I hope the wounded person heals up okay, and that the Good Samaritan has no issues with killing the guy, mental or otherwise. I imagine he will close his eyes at night and relive the whole thing over again, but hopefully that will pass after a little bit.
Good shooting citizen!
He did, he did! He aimed for the hatchet...(snort!)
