Once inside, police say, Naveed Afzal Haq opened fire with two semiautomatic pistols. One woman, Pam Waechter, 58, of Seattle was killed at the scene. Five more women were wounded. Haq, 30, was ordered held on $50 million bail Saturday pending formal charges of murder and attempted murder. Haq, a Muslim, told authorities he was angered by the war in Iraq and U.S. military cooperation with Israel. "He pointedly blamed the Jewish people for all of these problems," Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said at a news conference Saturday. According to a statement of probable cause, Haq told a 911 dispatcher: "These are Jews and I'm tired of getting pushed around and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East." Muhammad Ullah, a close family friend and a senior member of a mosque founded in part by Haq's father, described Haq as a quiet loner with few friends. In a statement, the Islamic Center of the Tri-Cities offered condolences to the shooting victims and said "we disassociate this act from our Islamic teachings and beliefs." Seattle police said Haq picked up the two handguns and spare ammunition just days earlier, and appeared to have targeted the federation after a cursory Internet search for Jewish organizations. He also was stopped shortly before the shootings in Seattle for a minor traffic infraction, and was cited and released, Kerlikowske said. Haq had a valid driver's license and his actions did not raise any suspicion, the chief said. One of the women wounded in Friday's shooting — hit in the arm as she shielded her pregnant belly — helped bring the crisis to an end by crawling into her office, calling 911, and convincing her assailant to talk to dispatchers, Kerlikowske said. "She's a hero in my eyes," he said at a news conference. That woman, Dayna Klein, 37, was hospitalized at Harborview Medical Center along with the four others wounded. Jewish Federation officials identified the other wounded women as Cheryl Stumbo, 43; Layla Bush, 23; and Carol Goldman, 35, all of Seattle; and Christina Rexroad, whose age and hometown could not immediately be confirmed. The 13-year-old girl taken hostage at the beginning of the melee was not shot, police said. When Haq got on the phone with 911 operators, he identified himself by name and said, "This is a hostage situation and I want these Jews to get out," according to a statement of probable cause. At one point, he told the dispatcher he wanted police to call the media and that he had a gun pointed at a woman's head. He said he was acting alone and had not been drinking, court documents said. The three most seriously wounded women, who had been shot in the abdomen, were upgraded from critical to serious condition Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson said. The other two were in satisfactory condition Friday. A nursing supervisor refused to say Saturday evening whether they had been released from the hospital. Prosecutors have until Aug. 2 to formally charge Haq, spokesman Dan Donohoe said. They are not yet seeking capital charges, but that could change, he said. Authorities searched Haq's parents' home and his apartment — both in the Tri-Cities area of southeastern Washington — and removed evidence, including computers and Haq's car, Kerlikowske said. Police and the FBI are labeling the shootings a hate crime. Haq entered the King County courtroom on Saturday wearing handcuffs, chains and leg shackles, and a white jail jumpsuit that labeled him an "ultra security inmate." Before entering, Haq requested through a public defender that he be allowed to not personally attend the hearing, or for him to not be photographed or videotaped. District Judge Barbara L. Linde denied both requests. Haq briefly glanced at rows of news media in the gallery on his way into the courtroom but otherwise showed no outward emotion. Waechter, an assistant director at the federation, was described by colleagues as a tireless worker for the Jewish community. "She was a person everybody loved, everybody enjoyed being with," said Rabbi Jim Mirel of Temple B'nai Torah, where Waechter was a past president. Waechter is survived by two adult children, Nicole and Mark, Mirel said. ___ Associated Press writers Donna Gordon Blankinship in Seattle and Shannon Dininny in Pasco contributed to this report. ___ On the Net: http://www.jewishinseattle.org Email Story IM Story Discuss Printable View RECOMMEND THIS STORY Recommend It: Not at All Somewhat Moderately Highly Very Highly Average (Not Rated) » Recommended Stories U.S. News New Orleans cops probe 6 killings in 1 day AP Colo. killer case draws hundreds of calls AP Man charged with setting girlfriend aflame AP N.J. stripper to plead in body parts case AP Relatives: Fla. woman missing from cruise AP Most Viewed - U.S. Gay marriage case began with unusual call AP Man charged with setting girlfriend aflame AP New Orleans cops probe 6 killings in 1 day AP N.J. stripper to plead in body parts case AP Parts of US West bar tree-cutting on private land Reuters U.S. News Video Man Sets Girlfriend On Fire AP - 2 hours, 41 minutes ago Crews Battle Wildfire in Heat Near 100-Degrees AP - Sun Jul 30, 3:08 AM ET Shooting Suspect Held on $50-Million Bail AP - Sun Jul 30, 12:26 AM ET Seattle Shooting Spree Shocks Community AP - Sat Jul 29, 11:19 PM ET digital camera reviews digital camera prices  canon cameras  sony digital cameras cool cars ebay motors  hot cars  national car rental  cheap tickets used cars cell phone directory  download nasyid  free download music us cellular  fun games  free nokia ringtones  fun  cell phone polyphonic ringtones game codes  play games  free online games  free games  games  online games  las vegas entertainment  playstation game cheats map quest  green day holiday  summer vacations  city maps  world map  yahoo maps  cheap flights  holiday inn  google maps  hotel california  maps  travel directions  holiday inn express  cheap hotels  las vegas hotels  hotels  discount travel
