SEATTLE -- The 22-year-old Snohomish man who was arrested after a gunshot wounded three people at the annual Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center was charged on Thursday.

The King County Prosecutor's Office charged Clinton Chad Grainger with assault in the second degree for the shooting. Prosecutors also added a firearm enhancement with the charge.

Authorities said a 9mm Glock Grainger was carrying in an ankle holster discharged during a scuffle he was having with another man.

The bullet grazed the other man's nasal passage, and then struck another man in the hand and a woman in the leg. None suffered life-threatening injuries. The woman and second man who were struck were not involved in the argument.

According to the charging documents, one of the victims told police Grainger approached him in a confrontational manner and asked him for his name. When the victim refused to give his name, Grainer pushed him in the chest then abruptly reached down to his ankle.

The victim, who believed Grainger was trying to reach for a weapon, tackled Grainger to the ground. While wrestling, he said he heard a shot being fired then felt a burning pain on his face. The victim's friend then jumped in and helped to keep Grainger down until police arrived.

The victim was later found to have powder burns to his upper lip and nose.

While being questioned by police Grainger said it was unclear who fired the gun during the scuffle.   "I dunno, he pulled the trigger or I pulled the trigger...the trigger was pulled," he told police.

Prosecutors called Grainger a danger to the community, and said he is under medical care because he has schizophrenia and is in a methadone program.

Grainger is being held in the King County Jail on $350,000 bail. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 45 months in prison.   His arraignment is scheduled for June 12.

The problem for all of us is how "community reaction" may affect CC permits in this and other states.  Here's the first change:

City to limit concealed weapons

Does Washington state issue permits to people with drug problems? The article indicated that his mental illness wasn't the kind that would keep him from getting a permit....ok, but the guy was in a methadone program....hello?????? These programs are generally because someone is addicted to  opiates such as heroin or morphine....

I don't think further restrictions of where a concealed handgun can be carried is the solution, but I don't know that I have a better answer either.....If I was a citizen of Seattle, I would certainly do my best to get that idiot Nickels out of office though....he seems really anti-gun.....

Part of the application form asks if you have a mental disorder (or are being treated for one, I don't remember which for sure), but if you lie and there's no court order on record determining you to be insane . . . .

When are people going to wake up to the fact that "gun free zones" are "free kill zones"?

It's interesting that because he was ankle carrying, when he reached for his gun, it tipped off his intended victim, who was able to wrestle him down and prevent more damage than was actually caused. Other people responded correctly by holding him down. Ankle carry made it possible, and that's why it's a bad idea for primary carry. 

We don't know what his intentions were. The bystanders who opted to shed their sheep's clothing and take action may have prevented another mass shooting in a public gathering place. But the mayor seems to be of the opinion that city property should remain a free kill zone.

This fellow will lose his permit and his guns and his freedom, and he should. But he should be the one who pays, not the rest of Seattle's permit holders.  

Washington, D.C., Chicago, IL, and Seattle, WA are all free kill zones. There are many others across America. Trolley Square Mall in Salt Lake City is still a free kill zone. The blood has been mopped up and cleaned away, the bullet holes patched up and painted over. The broken glass has been replaced. The dead have been mourned and buried. The wounded have recovered, or are recovering, or may never recover. Much effort has gone into repairing the damage and presenting the facade that nothing has changed at Trolley Square. And nothing has. It's still a free kill zone. 

People are still going to kill other people. They don't need guns to do it. Taking all the guns away, like they did in Japan, is not going to prevent people from killing other people. Look at the case of the wacko who drove a 2 ton truck into a pedestrian zone because he knew no one else would be armed with an automobile. He ran over more than a dozen people, then leapt from the vehicle and retraced his path, finishing off his victims with a knife. Horrified onlookers, like sheep, looked on in bewilderment and terror, apparently expecting or hoping that a sheepdog would come along and vanquish this big bad wolf who had suddenly appeared in their midst.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray.

The guy must have thought that since he was on methadone he didn't have a drug problem, he had a drug solution. The permitting form must not ask anything about drug solutions.

Doesn't schizophrenia interfere with your ability to determine if sensory input is real  (external ) or originating in your mind? Hard to believe that an individual could get a concealed carry permit with that kind of condition (unless the treating physician vouched for the man ). A couple of missed meds, and we've got ourselves a situation. It'd be easy to forget that kind of thing if you're on a methadone high.

I worked with schizophrenic people and know how unpredictable they can be even when medicated,and i would not have issued any kind of weapons permit to him no matter what.
