In the same county in Washington where 4 police officers were killed last month, two were shot. They were responding to a domestic violence incident at a home by Eatonville. One of the men is a 20 year old veteran of the Pierce County Sherrif's Department and was transported to Madigan Army Medical Center where they said he was in serious condition. The other man is a nine year veteran and was airlifted to the trauma center at Harborview Medical Center where you was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The man that shot them was David E. Crable and he had a history of protection orders sought by family members. Early this year he pleaded guilty to malicious mischief and brandishing a knife in an incident with his brother. Both were misdemeanors and he had no felony convictions. The protecive orders were not in effect during the shooting. They deputies returned fire which killed the alleged shooter.



It's sad that people are that stupid to have to kill people for no reason. Just because their friend was shot doesn't mean the people that work with the people he shot should die too. The officers did nothing to those people but it seems that most of these big things that happen could have been prevented and had signs that they would do something bad again. People should be more cautious and aware of others so that they will be more likely to avoid situations where things like this could happen.

Haiyang Zhu pleaded guilty to first degree murder of Xin Yang who was a graduate student studying accounting at Virgina Tech. He attacked her with a knife and decapitated her at restaurant. Xin had started at Virgina Tech only two weeks before Haiyang killed her. The school spokesman said that the two were believed to have known each other and nobody saw any sign of an argument before he killed her. Haiyang was taken into custody at the scene. He wrote a love letter to Xin and she told him she was engaged to another man. He purchased the knife the morning of her death and tried to call her 12 times, the first call was right after he bought the knife. Haiyang had a writing called "Will" where he talked about his love for Xin and that she broke his heart by saying she was engaged and thought that her fiance couldn't compare to Haiyang in education and that she should have seen he would be the best husband for her. He is scheduled to be sentenced in April.



She should have turned him in when he kept calling her and stuff because he was obviously pretty much stalking her and she wasn't interested like that otherwise she wouldnt have said she was engaged. I'm not saying it's her fault she died but she could probably have prevented it by getting him and herself some help. He seems like he has some mental issues that he needs to get checked out if he gets that mad just because he can't have someone. Obviously she found someone else and he should be able to do the same but i guess it's too late for that anyways.
