PARKLAND, Wash. -- The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is searching for five people who allegedly attacked a uniformed National Guardsmen walking along 138th Street in Parkland Tuesday afternoon.
The soldier was walking to a convenience store when a sport utility vehicle pulled up alongside him and the driver asked if he was in the military and if he had been in any action.
The driver then got out of the vehicle, displayed a gun and shouted insults at the victim. Four other suspects exited the vehicle and knocked the soldier down, punching and kicking him.
And during the assault the suspects called him a baby killer. At that point they got into the car and drove off and left him on the side of the road, Detective Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriffs Department told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.
The suspects were driving a black Chevy Suburban-type SUV.
This is something new for us, we have not had military people assaulted because they were in the military or somebody's opposition to a war or whatever, Troyer said.
The driver is described as a white male, 25-30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, heavy build, short blond hair, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, and armed with a handgun.
The vehicle's passengers are described as white males, 20-25 years old. Some of the suspects wore red baseball hats and red sweatshirts during the attack.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and charging of the individuals involved. Informants can call 253-591-5959, and callers will remain anonymous.

Track em down and take care of them.........
Thank you, Democrats, for creating this atmosphere.
Despicable. I hope the perpetrators get due punishment, physical style.
That's exactly it.
Don't bet on it. This is the Peoples' Soviet of Washington.
We've come a long way from Vietnam, haven't we? From spitting and insults to physical assault.
Nice.
white punks on dope
Too bad he wasn't carrying weapon. He could have done away with this scum easily. In light of some of the things I've seen happening with our guys when they return home, I would advise any of them to lock and load. The radical antiwar animals have it in for them, and there is a climate of hatred for them in many places.
The "peace and love" crowd show their true colors!
Hey, thanks for helping make the world a safer place for our daughter to grow up in. Carla and I are 100% behind the troops and the mission. We just wish that the loony left realized that the terrorists want to kill them and their kids too! Oh, wait; that's right - most of them kill their own kids before they have their first breath. Silly me! I guess they have something in common with the terrorists after all.
This is an outrage, and is the direct result of the war on the military that the leftists have been waging for 5 years and more. This is every bit as much a hate crime as any other, and the reason falls right in the laps of the democrats. Let us not hold our breath waiting to hear the media calling this what it is.
Grrrrrr.
You have white gangsters down that way or was the red clothing just a coincidence?
I'd add a extra C note to that reward.
Baghdad Jim McDermott will probably present them medals next week, maybe on the first episode of their new TV show.
Meanwhile the Guardsman is arrested for inducing a riot and goes bankrupt trying to defend himself in court.
Unfortunately a few made it through the left's abortion process...
the newspaper should have gone to the local DNC office for a "comment" (if not to search for suspects).
Cowards.
The only thing filth like this ever fought for is another eggo waffle from their incestuous mother.
" we have not had military people assaulted "
Yeah right - just like there have been no islamofascist attacks and murders in the AlQaueda Northwest either.
My county, unfortunately......evil exists everywhere...
