If you encountered the horrible traffic coming down to my place yesterday, here’s why [link]:

SEATTLE – A man who was assaulted by a stranger in front of Westlake Center in Seattle pulled out a gun and shot his attacker once, killing him.

And lesson here? Don’t try to beat up a stranger. They can legally kill you.

Investigators said the man who was killed approached the other and out of the blue started assaulting him. The man who was being hit fired one round from his own weapon, which police say was legally registered.

Police said the man will likely not face charges.
