PALMDALE – Three male suspects entered a Palmdale home Sunday night and pistol-whipped one of the residents, authorities said.

The attack was reported at 9:34 p.m. Sunday, April 29, in the 4000 block of Stable Drive, Lt. Steve De Jong of the Sheriff’s Palmdale Station said. The suspects, who wore dark clothing, fled following the attack.

The victim was the father of one of the other occupants of the home, De Jong said. He was taken to a hospital with a head injury from the pistol- whipping.

Deputies were investigating the motive for the attack.

“The victim is not cooperating,” the lieutenant said.

    If the victim isn’t cooperating he’s probably as guilty as those who beat his arse.

    and he will probably get beat again.

      Or he is an elderly man (another report stated that he was 70 years old) who was traumatized and afraid of retaliation. Victim blaming is pretty ugly.

      He was probably talked out of filing charges like I was. How could we be assaulted do we really want to humiliate our families? Another missed statistic keep it up guys
