Here's Naveed Haq, who killed one and wounded 8 in a shooting spree at The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. He gained access to the secure building by holding a gun to the head of a 12 year old daughter of a worker while she contacted the receptionist.

My wife was CFO there until about a year before the shooting. If she had still been working, she would have been shot. Her friend is dead.

"Prosecutors also introduced as evidence audio recordings from 10 phone calls that Haq placed to his family after his arrest. In the calls, recorded by the King County Jail, Haq told his mother he was “a soldier of Islam.”

Witnesses testified that Haq, who is of Pakistani heritage, railed against Jews and U.S.-Israeli policies as he opened fire at the federation.

On the 911 tape, Haq said he was tired of the world ignoring the Muslim point of view.

“I don’t care if I die,” Haq told the dispatcher. “This is just to make a point.”
