One Washington state woman is dead and another faces murder charges in an incident involving a political sign.
It happened in Mount Vernon, Washington on Saturday night. The Skagit County Sheriff's Office was called to a home on Big Lake Road about 5:25 p.m. for a report of a fight.
A second call came in a few minutes later with a man reporting that his friend had been shot.
Deputies found a 32-year-old woman dead in the driveway when they arrived at the home. The couple that lives there came out and spoke to the deputies, according to a news release.
Investigators say the victim and shooter didn't know each other but they determined that the incident began over the theft of a political sign.
Police did not release information about the sign but other residents, reacting to the crime on a local message board, say the woman had a Trump sign in the yard and the victim tried to take it.
55-year-old Angela Marie Conijn was booked into the county jail on 2nd-degree murder charges. It was unclear if she had a lawyer who could speak on her behalf.
A 58-year-old man, who was reported to be Conijn's husband, was arrested on assault charges.
Police did not release the name of the victim. They said the investigation was ongoing.
Depends on the state and time of day.
In Houston, a guy opened up from a second story balcony with an AK bc someone was stealing his rims at night.
No charges. Three dead.
The enraged leftist guy, who had moments earlier punched the home owner in the face as he was trying to stop him from stealing their sign, etc, was using the wheel barrow in a crazed attempt to break down their door. The lefty guy was an obviously very dangerous nut job.
Not enough reporting here.
Too many details missing.
There’s clearly more to this story than is being released.
Sounds like this thief was a self correcting error...if more of this happened more often there would be less thievery...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Good idea.
...not sure yet of what the circumstances were such that she shot in the direction of the car, hitting the woman who had gotten out. Was the lefty woman charging at her? Where was the lunatic lefty guy at the time? Hopefully more details will be coming out later today, if they aren’t already out.
Yes. See my last post directly above.
She should have lived in Texas, where Criminal Mischief after the hours of darkness justifies Deadly Force. Deadly Force is also justified to stop or prevent a Felony from occurring.
Granted, the community and DA will determine outcome. Austin/Dallas/Houston you'll probably be charged in a lot of cases. My hometown the police might comment on your shot grouping and hurt your feelings.
I held two poachers at gunpoint until Sheriff's Deputies arrived several years ago. One Deputy, which I knew, asked me why didn't I shoot them.
“Conijn’s husband told officers that Cohee and the other man started beating on his front door with a wheelbarrow, at which point Conijn exited their home and fired a gun towards the parked vehicle.
The shot struck Cohee, whose body was found 50ft from the house and 25ft from the road.
The man who arrived with Cohee allegedly admitted to taking the political sign.”
If this is,in fact,*simply* a case where the homeowner shot the sign thief then that shooter went too far...*way* too far.But as we all know too well there may be more to the story.
it was voter intimidation against the homeowners and the theives are being protected by the democrat establishment.
no release of the name on the sign or the perps.
>>They’re just as responsible as the KKK burning crosses on lawns back in the day.
that was democrats intimidating voters as well
The lefty guy admitted he stole the sign, or was trying to
Husband (3) comes out of house. - begins filming or taking photos. Husband (3) allegedly punches driver (1) through open drivers window.
It was the lefty guy driver who punched the homeowner.

“The 58-year-old male who owns the residence goes out there to find out what’s going on, got into a confrontation with the driver of the suspect vehicle – ended up being a fight over the political sign that the male in the vehicle was trying to steal,” Clark said.
According to court documents, the men both told deputies they got into a physical fight. The homeowner said he was chased back to the house, but the driver said he punched the homeowner through the open window of their truck.
Cohee was with the driver and got out of the car. Clark said the homeowner’s wife came out with a gun.
”The 55-year-old wife came out of the house, fired several rounds and the female that got out of the truck, out of that vehicle that was there, was struck and killed,” Clark said.

The world is going mad.
We already know there's more to it than that. The homeowner was punched in the face, and the two lefty nut job idiots tried to break their door down.
Yes,I didn’t see that at the top of this thread. If there was a wheelbarrow involved and that wheelbarrow was used in an effort to break down their door then,IMO,it stops being “murder” and,perhaps,becomes “unauthorized discharge of a firearm”.
There problem was trying to live a normal life in crazy country. A neighbor who moved here in Texas told me he moved from Oregon because they have become bat-shit crazy. He said you were not safe anywhere on the West Coast. If you lived inland, they came out of the cities after you. He moved out of a place outside of Portland. I saw him a few weeks ago and he said I told you what was going to happen a couple of years ago.
The act of attempting to break their door down in the midst of the physically violence that had already taken place (lefty driver punching homeowner in face), was an act that obviously presented a very serious threat of danger to the homeowners.
