Counterattack

An Assailant physically attacks a Victim (which is usually but not always sentient), causing or intending to cause the Victim physical damage. The attack is a response to an earlier attack by the Victim on the current Assailant (or by actors associated with the Assailant or Victim). A Weapon used by the Assailant may also be mentioned, in addition to the usual Place, Time, Purpose, Reason, etc. Sometimes a location is used metonymically to stand for the Assailant or the Victim, and in such cases the Place FE will be annotated on a second FE layer. Are we counterattacking them just to keep them off balance?
