Teens disappointing

While walking at 22nd Avenue and Pierce on Feb. 12 at about 11 a.m., my husband, Don, was shot in the neck with a pellet gun.

It was a drive-by shooting.

There were three teenagers in a four-door, light beige car.

They shot more than once.

Don’s injuries were minor, but he will not be forgetting it soon.

He was disappointed in those teenagers.

Please be aware of your surroundings when you’re out walking or jogging.

Parents: Can you account for the whereabouts of your boys that day? Jean Hatcher Spokane
