I would like to know if there are any bullet holes in the heart attack victim.

There's a newer Reddit thread and the person who seems to be a friend of the family says that the shooter/his supporters are now saying that Christensen was already dead when the kid shot the puppy, which he mistook for a "wild animal." I know coroner's offices are underfunded and many states require zero medical training in order to become a coroner, but hopefully the Lewis Cty one could tell if the bullet wound was postmortem or not...?

Maybe the sheriff's brother will help. He's the sheriff of the neighboring county--Thurston. The two have tried to be famous for that. I'm thinking nothing dares to be done until after the election results are known. If the shooter has ties to a prominent person in the county, you can believe they'll get away with it unless an outside agency intervenes. We had a burglar who was a cousin of a different sheriff, and the county folks would not do anything. Local Randle people took care of it in an unlawful way (merely a threat at gunpoint) and stopped the burglaries in our area. I think the burglar moved to a different area and the sheriff had to finally arrest him as the burglar got too bold.

Why isn't this getting any traction in the Seattle area news, I wonder? Everyone and their dog is a hiker nowadays. I'd like to know that if I or husband is shot and killed on the trail there would be justice or at least a serious investigation. I mean, the Sauk Mt incident was well covered and there wasn't even the cover up type angle that you'd think would make this an extra interesting news story (for better or worse). Will we have to wait for the true crime podcast?

Good question. The victim was from Portland, is that local media on it? I’ve never know a four month old puppy to growl. They chirp and yap

I'm sorry, Having read this Chronical Article....there is most definitely a coverup being carried out by good ole county boys protecting their youth who murdered a Portlandia/hippie/antifa/dopesmoking/communist. You can call it a conspiracy theory but I'll call it obvious. Occam's Razor. I sure hope Jay Inslee chooses to get involved, not like anyone from Lewis county is going to change their mind or voting habits about him if he does.

Note to self, don’t get shot in Lewis County

either that or he overdosed on marijuana, right?

where's Geraldo when you need him?

Looks like Snaza was re-elected as sheriff.

^ Post election results always boggle the mind, treeswarper. (The names have been omitted to protect the innocent - just like Jack Webb would have done.)

Was talking to an East Lewis Co. friend this morning. They had not heard of the shooting. They have limited internet, do not get a newspaper, and have no radio reception. They do have TV and Seattle news.
