MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Police in Marysville are asking the armed bystanders who shot at two shoplifting suspects over the weekend to come forward and speak to investigators.
According to Marysville PD, the shoplifters were leaving the Coastal Farm and Ranch Store on State Avenue Saturday, when several citizens confronted them.
As the thieves tried to take off in their car, the bystanders began shooting, taking out a couple of their tires.
The suspects' vehicle was found abandoned a few blocks away. Officers used a K-9 to track down the suspects.
No one was injured, and the people who fired the shots left the scene before police arrived.
Marysville Police want to speak with the bystanders who shot at the vehicle in order to get their statement.
Anyone with information is asked to call Marysville Police.

Yay vigilantes!
Oh, they want to "speak" with some real LEO's? Not likely.

I expect they are not that stupid.
Of course they should know that their weapons now have a ballistics fingerprint on file.

"I and a couple of other patriots shot at some scumbag thieves thereby allowing you to catch them. Get their statement if you want one.
ps. Our only regret is that we missed them and hit the car."

The bullets are probably mush. The shell casings, however, would do them in -- assuming they didn't pick them up. Another reason to carry a revolver.

Yep. Their sentence would end up being greater than the scumbag thieves' -- who will get off with a slap on the wrist because shut up.
