At Least Three Shot At Jewish Center In Seattle |
2006-07-28 |
SEATTLE - At least five people were wounded by gunshots Friday afternoon at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and one person was arrested, police said. A SWAT team was searching the building, looking for any other victims, anyone hiding or any other possible shooters, police spokesman Rich Pruitt said. Seattle Fire Department medics told The Seattle Times that the victims include two women. One woman was shot in the abdomen. The other woman is described as 17 weeks pregnant and was shot in an arm. They were taken to Harborview Medical Center. Three other victims have also been seen arriving Harborview. Police say they've arrested one person and could be looking for another alleged suspect who may be on a nearby rooftop. Police blocked off several city blocks to investigate. Patti Simon was at work at the federation's newspaper on the first floor when she heard screaming, shots and what sounded like furniture crashing on the floor above. "We heard this horrible screaming on the floor above us and shots," said Simon, 52, who sells advertising at the paper. "We didn't know what was happening." Simon called up to her co-workers on the second floor, but got no answer, so she called the police and fled the building. "People got shot, some of our co-workers," Simon said, her voice shaking. "I just got back from Israel and made it out of there a half hour before the rockets started." Simon said the federation has security in the building. "Somebody must have lied there way in," Simon said. |

#13 "To delve into the mind of a clearly troubled and disturbed person is impossible," Weiner said. "It is heartbreaking to think of what is transpiring." Somehow, I think the perp is going to let us know what he was thinking about. But he was no doubt a victim of his environment and should be treated tenderly no matter what he says, poor guy. |

#12 The cops may not have a motive, but the perp declared one. Unless, of course, the statement "I'm angry at Israel" is studiously ignored. Which, in Seattle, is likely to be the case. |

#7 Police statement that they don't know what his motive was in 5, 4, 3.... Yes, I know he said why he did it, but that won't stop the PC fruitcakes. :-( |
