Armed Homeless Man Shoots, Kills Attacker

(Seattle, Washington) A 52-year-old homeless man with a concealed weapons license shot and killed a mentally ill man who attacked him.

Classified as a Dangerous Mentally Ill Offender (DMIO) after release from prison on an arson conviction, 25-year-old Daniel Culotti died from one shot to the abdomen from a .357-caliber handgun. He was under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Seattle Mental Health agency.

The 52-year-old homeless man was questioned by police and released. His name was not made public.

Okay, one question. I know that the Pacific Northwest is quite liberal but I can't fathom how someone could get a concealed weapons permit without having a permanent address. Anybody? It's also somewhat unnerving to know that people who customarily reside in cardboard boxes may be legally packing heat.
