Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Saturday, 25 March 2006, 18:53 GMT Seven killed at US party shooting Seven people have died in a shooting at a party in Seattle in the western US state of Washington, police say. Officers arrived at the house in the eastern district of Capitol Hill early on Saturday morning. The gunman is said to have shot himself when confronted. Another three people were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds, a police spokesman said. " It's one of the largest crime scenes the city has ever had, " Seattle police chief Gil Kerlikowske said. The dead were all believed to be in their early 20s. It is not thought the gunman lived in the area. Mr Kerlikowske said an officer in the neighbourhood heard shots fired at just after 0700 local time (1500 GMT). When he went to investigate, he found one person staggering out of the house with a bullet wound. The officer confronted another man with a shotgun, who turned it on himself after being told several times to put it down, Mr Kerlikowske said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4845726.stm Dasha: Ve/Sa/Su/Ju/Ju satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
