SEATTLE, Washington – At the Jewish Center shooting trial, Detective Don Ledbetter has finally left the stand after wrapping up his series of daily stints on the stand by discussing the number of bullets and their respective trajectories – indicating, it seems, that the shots – “at least nine” — were fired in a deliberate manner. SWAT officers also told jurors about their slow clearing of the offices, and encountering bleeding, terrified victims. One officer, who escorted 14-year-old Kelsie Burkum out of the center, said he was near the stairs with Burkum when he realized, “Oh my god, I’m going to take her right by her friend who is deceased.” Watch SWAT officer describe finding victims The officer clasped Burkum’s hand and told the girl to close her eyes and “feel my body, move down with me,” as he led her around the corpse as quickly as he could – not knowing whether shooters still roamed the floor. Defendant Naveed Haq, a 30-year-old Muslim American, is accused of killing one woman and wounding five others. He is mounting an insanity defense. – In Session staff Filed under: Jewish Center shooting Trials Uncategorized |
