The owner of a Red Mist C8 Corvette opened fire in self-defense after four men wearing facemasks tried to steal his car early Sunday morning.
The incident happened around 3:30 a.m. near 1st Avenue and Blanchard Avenue in downtown Seattle, Washington.
Police say the Corvette driver had parked his car when he was approached by four masked men in a white sedan, two of whom got out, held him at gunpoint, and tried to steal the C8.
Fearing for his safety, the Corvette driver fired off several rounds, hitting two of the suspects, with police finding one of them still at the scene suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken under armed guard to Harborview Medical Center, where the other three suspects later dropped off another victim before fleeing the scene.
Police now say that the two victims are a 14-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man, both of whom are listed in serious condition and will be charged after being released from the hospital. The other two suspects remain at large.
As for the Corvette driver, a licensed gun owner, he was questioned by police at Seattle Police Headquarters and released.

A 14 year old suspect.
Dr. Watson was right.
TWO DOWN and TWO to go get😁😁😂😂👍👍
I love in Seattle and disappointed that he wasn’t a better shot.
I wonder if the police are willing to give a description of the criminals?
Find the other two, convict them all, sentence to death and execute in public preferably by hanging or guillotine. Pretty soon this bullshit will stop!
Feel good story of the day.
FAFO!
Good for him!
Good job! Stop criminals in their tracks!

FAN- FN-TASTIC!!!
What a world we live in. I,too am a licensed carrier and would never be cruising around town after midnight. Parking your car at 3.30 AM in a city known for crime is just stupid, this dude was lucky for now, probably doesn’t realize there’s a price on his head.
He needs to practice his shooting a little more or get a more powerful gun.
