Stop me if you've heard this one....
A schizophrenic, enrolled in a methadone program, with a legal concealed weapons permit attends
a free family music festival over the holiday weekend. He gets into an argument with a guy in the
drum circle and while pistol-whipping the guy with his Glock (which he legally carries in an ankle
holster) discharges the gun, sending a bullet through the guy's 'nasal passage', through the hand of
a nearby guy and into that guys girlfriends leg...Suspect in Folklife Festival shooting held on $350,000 bail
By The Associated Press
Bail was set at $350,000 Monday for a 22-year-old Snohomish man who was arrested after a
gunshot wounded three people at the annual Northwest Folklife Festival at Seattle Center.Clinton Chad Grainger was arrested for investigation of three counts of assault after the shooting
about 6:20 p.m. Saturday. Authorities say a gun he was carrying in an ankle holster discharged
during a scuffle he was having with another man.The bullet grazed the other man's nasal passage, and then struck another man in the hand and a
woman in the leg. None suffered life-threatening injuries. The woman and second man who were
struck were not involved in the argument.Prosecutors called Grainger a danger to the community, and said he is under medical care because
he has schizophrenia and is in a methadone program.King County deputy prosecutor Jamila Taylor asked that bail be set at $500,000, but the judge
settled on the lower amount after Grainger's father said he would not be a flight risk.Police increased their patrols around the festival after the shooting, including having officers on
horseback.Festival executive director Rob Townsend says it's the first serious violence in the 37-year history
of the event.
