Drunk Man Arrested for Firing Shots at Kids Playing Soccer

We know Americans, in general, are not real big fans of soccer. Some, you might say, actually hate the game finding it slow, boring and low scoring . . . like baseball. But, no matter how much you might hate a sport, it's never okay to shoot at people playing it . . . especially when they're kids. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but you have to wonder how much drinkin' had been going on prior to this little incident.

Our favorite part of the story is the description of the shooter: walking three dogs, holding a beer and . . . wearing a white beanie? Fat, drunk and wearing a child's hat in public is no way to go through life, son.

A man opened fire on a group of youngsters playing soccer Thursday night after asking if they were gang members, city police say.  The 13 children took off running, and a police report did not indicate any of them were hurt.  The 41-year-old suspect — who witnesses described as holding a beer and wearing a white beanie, with three dogs trailing behind him — was arrested nearby, according to the report.

He was booked into the Yakima County jail on suspicion of 13 counts of first-degree assault and was expected to make his first court appearance this afternoon.  Several officers responded about 9:30 p.m. to an area around the 400 block of East Spruce after several callers reported the shooting.  The victims told police they were playing soccer at the Union Gospel Youth Center when the man approached and asked whether they were gang members.

The youngsters said they were not, but the man pulled a gun, pointed it at them and fired six shots, the police report stated.
