WA: Attempted "Hit" Victim Shoots Back, Wounds Assailant

A 57-year-old man at the scene said he was getting into his vehicle when a white car pulled up with two young men in it, the affidavit said. One of the men in the car said they were there “to serve a hit.” After saying something to them, the man went back to the house to tell the man who lived there what had happened.

The 59-year-old resident armed himself with a .40-caliber pistol and went outside as the white car turned around, turned off its lights and sped toward the house, the affidavit said. When someone in the car fired at his house, the resident shot back.

Deputies found several 9-millimeter shell casings in the street, as well as four bullet holes in the man’s house, the affidavit said.

While deputies were at the scene, they were told that two men had just arrived at Astria Toppenish Hospital, one of them with a gunshot wound to his right thigh. At the hospital, deputies saw a white Nisan Altima that had a bullet hole in the center of the passenger door, two 9 mm shell casings by the base of the windshield and one shell casing at the base of the rear window.
