Isn't it nice that a complete buffoon who's stupid enough to get
completely intoxicated can also carry a weapon around a crowded part
of town? I love our freedoms!


SEATTLE - An extremely intoxicated man who was kicked out of a
Belltown nightclub Friday night is suspected of firing about 20
gunshots into the air from the middle of the street.

Officers on bicycles responded to the area after receiving reports of
a suspect at large with a handgun tucked into this waistband.

During their search they heard about 20 gunshots near the intersection
of First Avenue and Bell Street.

Witnesses told the officers that the 38-year-old suspect was kicked
out of a nightclub, then walked into the middle of the street and
fired into the air.

The officers later spotted a suspect matching the description of the
shooter. As they approached, they saw the man drop a handgun.

Officers took the extremely intoxicated man into custody after a brief
struggle and booked him into King County Jail.

Multiple shell casings were recovered in the middle of the street. A
handgun also was recovered next to the suspect.

No one was hit by any of the bullets, nor were any buildings or
vehicles hit.
