KENNEWICK, WA.
A party at a Kennewick apartment ended with a bang early Wednesday after partygoers started leaving without helping the host clean up.
Donald Joseph Sbragia, 37, fired a gun into the air and pistol-whipped two people after confronting them as they were leaving his party, said Kennewick police Sgt. Ken Lattin.
Sbragia apparently held a party at his home at 1548 N. Edison St. and got upset when people started leaving without helping clean up, Lattin said.
It was not clear how many guests were at the party, but Sbragia confronted three of them in the parking lot as they were leaving, Lattin said.
Sbragia allegedly fired a shot in the air, pistol-whipped two of the guests on the back of the head, then pointed the gun at all three of them, Lattin said.
He was arrested and booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of three counts of first-degree assault and being a felon in possession of a gun.
