Bellevue police say they are recommending a charge of drive-by shooting assault be filed against a 19-year-old camera salesman suspected of firing shots - with what turned out to be an airosft gun - at a group of day laborers in front of a Home Depot on Sunday afternoon.
Police Spokeswoman Carla Iafrate said the department is not recommending a charge of malicious harassment, the state's term for a hate crime.
Police were called to the Home Depot on 120th Avenue Northeast around 1.p.m. Sunday after a report of shots fired by a man wearing a red T-shirt and driving a green Ford Explorer, according to the police report. No one was hit, but the laborers said they were afraid, police said.
An officer interviewed employees at a nearby Best Buy who identified the driver as a camera vendor who had worked in the store earlier in the day.
Prosecutors have until yesterday to file charges against the man, who is being held on $200,000 bail in the King County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault.

This post was actually quite interesting
Airsoft gun
Not good to hear this news. I can't belive that there are people who use airsoft guns to harm other people and cause destruction. With this kind of incident, airsoft guns can become instrumental in any crime. I hope this isn't gonna happen again. I also playing airsoft everytime I meet with my college friends. I also have a licensed rifle. Before I decided to get one, I made sure that I have self-control and study the precautions in using a gun. One of the gun experts taught me to use firearm coatings for maintaining the durability of my rifle. Firearms coatings are truly useful to avoid rust too.
I wonder who buys it to hurt anyone.
Cheap airsoft guns come one of most popular styles: the rifle and the handgun. The airsoft P799A full size pump shotgun is an excellent choice for use in airsoft simulation games. airsoft guns cheap are readily available in the market.
Its good things, keep share
