标 题: 小天使们又把一个88岁二战退伍老兵送上天堂

(CNN) -- An 88-year-old World War II veteran was brutally beaten and left
for dead by two teens outside a lounge in Spokane, Washington, where he
loved to go play pool.
The motive? Police don't have one. The teens appeared to have picked him at
random, authorities say.
Delbert Belton, a retired aluminum company worker, served in the Pacific.
There, friends say, he took a bullet in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa.
He survived that attack.
But Wednesday night, Belton -- affectionately called "Shorty" by friends for
his height -- headed to the Eagles Lodge where he was a regular.
Police found him in the parking lot, with serious head injuries. He died
Thursday.
"It does appear random," Spokane police Lt. Mark Griffiths told reporters. "
It appears he was assaulted in the parking lot and there was no indication
that he would have known these people prior to the assault."
It's the second time in a week that a seemingly random attack by teenagers
has claimed a life. |
