“Woman fatally stabbed by her ex; he’s fatally shot by a bystander”
oo bad the woman didn’t have a gun – she’d still be alive–

Woman fatally stabbed, “Helpless In Seattle”
Date: Aug 9, 2007 6:13 PM
Even with her court order, she was “Helpless in Seattle.”
The guy with the gun was not helpless, unfortunately,
he was not right there to able to prevent the fatal blow.
The sheep belief that laws and court orders will protect
people from violent criminals is a sadly misguided concept.

Woman fatally stabbed by her ex; he’s fatally shot by a bystander

A Seattle mother of four was fatally stabbed early today
despite a court protection order against her knife-wielding
ex-husband.

The 33-year-old victim was stabbed nearly two dozen times
while attending a birthday party about 1 a.m. at the
Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in the 9100 block of Martin
Luther King Jr. Way South.

The 39-year-old assailant burst into the hall, grabbed the
victim and slashed her with a large knife, witnesses told
police. The weapon was recovered at the scene.

A 32-year-old Kent man who was at the party pulled a hand
gun and shot the suspect who later died at Harborview Medial
Center.

Police spokeswoman Renee Witt said the party guest had a
concealed-weapons permit. She said he likely won’t face
charges since he acted to prevent further harm.

Another partygoer who tried to save the victim suffered
minor cuts. He drove himself to Virginia Mason Medical
Center and was later released.

Although identities had not been formally released this
evening, court records indicate that the victim and
39-year-old assailant obtained a court separation March 30
of this year.

Court records also show that the attacker had a previous
record of violence including multiple counts of assault in
April this year.
