It happened about 11:30 a.m., according to Brown.

The victim is in critical condition at Providence Centralia Hospital, she said.

The suspect, Sabino Gomez Barriga of Chehalis, fled the scene on foot shortly after it occurred, according to Brown. He was taken into custody and is enroute to the Lewis County Jail, according to Brown.

Brown says little is known about the victim at this time. Deputies are waiting for an interpreter to arrive at the hospital to learn more about what occurred, she said.

    It amazed me that Providence decided to work on the guy rather than airlift him to Harborview.

    So what happened to the victim did he die or is he in critical condition still.

  5. that doesn't make sense says:

    I don’t know even one business that does not have at least one pair of scissors around… or a sharp pen … or a box cutter … or a letter opener.

    Background checks tell about previous convictions, but not about potential for violence.

  6. brown eyes says:

    just because you do a background check doesn’t mean people don’t snap ,so whats to stop it then

  7. chris says:

    businesses with sharp objects shoulds do background checks.
