Seattle Jewish Federation shooting

The Seattle Jewish Federation shooting occurred in Seattle, United States on July 28, 2006, at around 4:00 p.m., when Naveed Afzal Haq shot six women, one fatally, at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building.

After his first trial ended in a mistrial, Haq was convicted in December 2009 and sentenced to life without parole plus 120 years. Damning recordings of telephone conversations between Haq and his mother, which belied his defense of mental defect, played a role in the prosecution's determination to retry Haq. Police have classified the shooting as a "hate crime" based on what Haq is alleged to have said during a 9-1-1 call. King County Prosecuting Attorney Norm Maleng described the shooting as "one of the most serious crimes that has ever occurred in this city". Provided by Wikipedia
