Gunman Sentenced for Shooting at Seattle Jewish Charity
January 15, 2010
The gunman who killed one person and wounded five others in a July 2006 attack at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without possibility of parole, reports the Associated Press.
Naveed Haq, 34, was convicted in December of murder and attempted murder charges in what has been described as Washington State’s worst hate crime. Pamela Waechter, the charity’s fund-raising chief, was killed when Mr. Haq opened fire at the organization’s headquarters.
