YAKIMA, Wash. — A 32-year-old man who was shopping with at least three children at a Yakima Wal-Mart was the victim of an unprovoked assault when a stranger picked up a metal tee-ball bat and struck him, according to Yakima police.
The victim was not injured, but he did have a concealed weapons permit, which he immediately put to use, police said.
A store security officer reported hearing a man in the sporting goods department yelling “Get on the ground!” and found one man pointing a pistol at another, who was lying on the floor.
Police arrived a short time later and arrested the 30-year-old suspect, who remains in Yakima County jail in lieu of $30,000 bail set Monday.
The incident took place about 11:20 a.m. Saturday at the east Yakima Wal-Mart.
The victim told police he did not know the suspect, nor had the two exchanged any words before he was hit by the bat, according to an affidavit filed by police.
A video from the store’s security system shows the victim shopping with at least three children. According to the affidavit, the video shows some of the children move out of view as a man is seen coming over, picking up a metal tee-ball bat from a rack and striking the other man in the shoulder with it.
The victim, who police said has had a concealed pistol license since March 2013, then pulled a .357 Sig Sauer pistol from a holster and pointed it at the suspect, the affidavit said.
The suspect is a transient and is being held on suspicion of second-degree assault.
Victim = 10
transient = 0
Game over
Too bad the transient is not dead.
Being the typical unbeleiving Doubting Thomas FReeper I think we are gettingt he whole story here. ;-)

YAKIMA + TRANSIENT = ILLEGAL ALIEN.
You noticed that too, huh?
Maybe not. Its a new form of the knockout game.
Perhaps they had been dating on the internet.
Or of the victim.
If it weren't we would have been given descriptions of the victim and attacker.
conspicuous by it's absence
that too
Msm would never not indicate a white attacker beating a black guy with a baseball bat. Never.
The guy was carrying a nice gun. I hope they didn’t take it away from him as “evidence”.
Neatly done.
Wonder what Nanny Bloomers has to say about this?
Metal bat could kill you.
Hard not to yank that trigger with all the adrenaline.
Probably his concern for his kids kept him cool.
Two years he’s had his carry permit. When a guy gets the permit, he’s always going to wonder if he’s going to have to use it.
God bless this guy and his family.
Transient. New speak for illegal alien.
The press. Working for you. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
