Don't take a flashlight to a gunfight.

LAKE STEVENS -- A Marysville man who was shot in the chest with a .357 Magnum revolver last December during a road-rage dispute could be charged with assault. That's the recommendation of police.

Detectives say the man, 26, was the aggressor in a confrontation that started with salty words in the Frontier Village parking lot in Lake Stevens. Before he was shot, he is accused of beating a Lake Stevens man over the head with a 3-pound flashlight.

No charges are recommended against the 25-year-old man who said he shot in self defense.

Hard to totally defend the driver that got smacked by the passenger as it seems he kind of started the incident but at least it appears he won't be screwed for defending himself.

This investigation took less than three months. Why can't they be this motivated when investigating police shootings.
