Man Arrested in Fatal Shooting at Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle

HeadlineJul 31, 2006

In Seattle, police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. The shooting left one person dead and five injured. Naveed Afzal Haq has been charged with one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder. During the shooting Haq reportedly shouted about his anger about Israel, the war in Lebanon and Iraq. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickles condemned the shooting.

  • Greg Nickles: “This is a crime of hate, there’s no place for that in the city of Seattle. This was a purposeful, hateful act, as far as we know by an individual acting alone.”
