Witnesses: Semi-automatic gunfire dominated biker shootout

34. What part do you not believe?

This is a newspaper account of a fight that took place at a nearby state park, where families were picnicking. The bikers were picnicking, too, until they weren't. And they were carrying guns, including at least one semi-automatic.

You know there are civilians who own semi-automatics. So why is it so hard for you to believe that members of biker gangs might own some, too?

The Lake Sammamish shootout happened about 9 p.m. on a Saturday night and left two dead: Yang Keovongphet, 33, and Justin M. Cunningham, 30. Three others were wounded and another person was hospitalized after being beaten.

A park ranger made a distress call after the first shots were fired, near unassociated wedding and graduation parties.

The following day, a semi-automatic handgun was found in a tall grass area near where Yang Keovongphet's group had been, investigators said.

His widow allegedly told police that David Keowongphet was a member of the "Asian Boyz" gang and was firing shots into the air.

The woman told police she received a phone call from David Keowongphet the day after the shooting, "asking if everything was cool," according to investigators. She responded that his group had killed her husband.
