The 15-Year-Old Bite of Seattle Shooter Was Just Sent Home?!
Three months after the Bite of Seattle shooting killed two innocent bystanders and wounded a two-year-old, a juvenile court judge sent the 15-year-old arrested that night home on electronic monitoring. The judge said there's a "colorable claim of self-defense."
Charlie Harger has read the new court filing. Before the festival, the 15-year-old met up with about 10 young men at a house where a video shows roughly 11 guns laid out on the ground. The Glock prosecutors say fired the bullet that killed Carlos Villalba has DNA from 19-year-old Junior Niko-Semo, who was also killed that night. Nobody has been charged with either bystander's death. Charlie on the filing, the self-defense loophole Olympia still hasn't closed, and the fix lawmakers should file in January.
