good morning Scott...

the below incident started off with an argument in the McDonalds... one of the
parties then exited and went to wait for a bus in the 1900 blk of 16th ST when a
blue Yukon pulled along side and pulled gun demanding his property.... the
victim attempted to grab the gun and a fight ensued when the driver of the truck
came out and struck the victim with a bat causing him injury - the truck sped
off (we are following this lead) and victim taken to an area hospital.... we ask
anyone who may have witnessed this attack to contact the 2d detectives or our
tip line at 1 888 919 CRIME ..

I know this is in 2D, but was hoping you could answer with details.

Thank you,

Anyone hear anything more about this incident which I heard about Sunday:



As I was coming home from church around 1:45 pm today, I noticed a lot of
police activity so I walked up to 16th and U. According to a couple of
bystanders, a car had pulled up to the intersection, someone jumped out with a
bat and began assaulting someone in the bus stop on the east side (our side) of
16th Street. For reasons I do not know, all the activity was over on the west
side of 16th by the Starbucks. There was a fire engine and an ambulance which
contained the victim (don't know if victim was male or female). There were
around 8 or 9 police cars. The bystanders told me that someone had gotten the
car license number as it sped away. Finally, as I was walking home, about 10
minutes after I first noticed the activity (and clearly some additional but
unknown amount of time after the assault had occurred), two police officers
decided to go over to the bus stop and start to put up some crime scene tape. I
asked if they had caught anyone and was told no and directed not to walk in
their crime scene. I took another look over at what had grown to at least 12
police cars and was perplexed as to how all these police were helping to catch
the perpetrators by milling around the scene talking.



Sorry if you are bothered by the mix of news and editorial commentary, but
frankly what I saw pissed me off almost as much as the crime itself.
