“Anger or insanity: Which drove the Jewish Federation killer?”
By LEVI PULKKINEN
SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF
SNIPPET: “Arriving at the center’s reception desk, according to police statements, Haq opened fire on workers there. Haq allegedly chased down Pam Waechter, already injured in the initial shooting, and shot her in the head as she tried to flee. Then, holding a gun to the head of another injured woman who was 17 weeks pregnant at the time, Haq gave his demands to a 911 operator.
Offering his name and Social Security number, Haq went on to demand that the United States military leave Iraq, complained that Muslims in the Middle East were “getting pushed around” by Israel and asked to be connected with CNN.
When the operator told him she couldn’t make that happen, he agreed to surrender to police. Following the shooting, Haq made numerous anti-Semitic comments to investigators.”

SNIPPET: “SEATTLE — In the second day of the retrial of Naveed Haq, jurors were hit with disturbing testimony from the survivors.
Witnesses described the harrowing scene of July 28, 2006 as Haq, the suspected gunman in the deadly shooting rampage inside the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, hunted them down room by room, aiming to kill.
“He shot at me again, and it went back behind my left knee and knocked me down,” said Christina Rexroad.
Rexroad, who was shot several times, said the bullet to her gut nearly killed her.
“It went in my abdomen, came out my groin area and it severed my femural artery,” she said.
Witnesses described their terror as they watched Haq hunt down Pam Waechter down the hall as she tried to run away.
Waechter, 58, died from her gunshot wounds. She was the director of the center’s fundraising campaign.”
SNIPPET: “Jurors heard the tape of the 911 call during which Haq himself addresses the operator.
“This is a hostage situation. I have a hostage,” said the caller. “this is Naveed Haq.”
The dispatcher is then heard trying to rationalize with Haq, and asking him what he wants.
“This is a hostage situation. I want these Jews out,” Haq is heard responding.”
