Elderly Couple Targeted in Drive-By Shooting for Supporting Police

An elderly Seattle couple who showed their support of police officers by displaying a "Thin Blue Line" flag in their yard were victimized in a drive-by shooting, police say. Surveillance footage shows a vehicle stop in front of the couple's North Seattle home before nine shots ring out. The vehicle then speeds off. No one was injured in the attack, according to the Seattle P.D. The shooting didn't mark the first time the grandparents were targeted because of their pro-police stance. Last week, someone spray-painted "ACAB" -- which stands for "All Cops Are B**tards" -- and "Black Lives Matter" on their home, police say. Is targeting an elderly couple a cowardly alternative to facing the police? Is this couple looking for trouble?
