| 10 Wounded By Gunfire At Seattle Area Lowrider Car Show |
| 2011-07-24 |
| No mention of it being at a La Raza ("The Race") Lowrider show until the 11th paragraph. A fight at a Kent car show left 10 people wounded, on the second day of the show at the La Plaza shopping center parking lot. Police gang detectives are working the scene. Police say there were likely more than one shooter, though they are uncertain of how many were involved. The ages of the wounded vary from 14 to 32. A poster for the event said it was a free, all-ages lowrider show sponsored by Lokos music store. Besides a car show, several music groups were scheduled to perform. The owner of a nearby restaurant said an off-duty police officer had just finished a meal with his family when the shooting started. He left to go to his car, but returned to the restaurant and told everyone to get away from the windows. The restaurant owner, who did not want her name in the paper, said she had been intimidated throughout the weekend by the rowdy crowds at the car show. Before the shooting, she said, she saw two men fighting on a corner at the edge of the plaza. |

| #1 An associated article from last last night says that it may have started over a paint job.... Close by, in neighboring Pyallup the Good Guys car show is also going on this weekend. Think of it as a Pacific NW version of Hot August Nights in Reno. When I first heard about the shooting, that is where I thought it was, as I am not a big follower of the low riders.... |
