Ash Street shootout: The night that changed Tacoma's Hilltop
20 years ago, a tense Hilltop neighborhood erupted in hundreds of gunshots as gangsters fought Army Rangers for control. The shootout gained national attention and brought changes to the neighborhood and the city.

would make a good movie. the director can embellish it a bit by throwing in a civil war cannon dragged to the house from the museum grounds by the rangers, maybe an an old crank-operated gatling gun operated a by a senior citizen who collected old firearms, etc then the preface of the movie will say" Based on a true story". the actors would inlcude clint eastwood and tommy lee jones. I bet it the whole NRA membership and calgunners would watch first day opening someone from calgun should try getting hollywood interested in this story.
