NEW: Pierce County prosecutors charged former Seattle SuperSonic Shawn Kemp with first-degree assault after exchanging gunfire last month in the Tacoma Mall parking lot. FOX13
At the time, the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said it was not filing charges for the March 8 incident.
Detectives said Kemp was standing where a round of ammunition was found on the ground, and during a search of his car a gun was located. "Individuals inside the vehicle shot at Mr. Kemp, who then returned fire in self-defense," Kemp's attorney Scott Boatman told FOX 13 last month. "There was not a drive-by shooting as previously reported, and Mr. Kemp’s actions were reasonable and legally justified."
