Bellevue, WA - Hundreds Mourn Seattle Shooting Victim

Bellevue, WA - Hundreds of people attended a funeral for the woman killed in the shooting rampage at a Jewish charity, saying they hoped her violent death would prompt actions of peace.
Pamela Waechter, 58, was shot when a man forced his way into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle on Friday. Five others were wounded.

A simultaneous funeral took place in Minneapolis, where Waechter was raised. She converted to Judaism when she was married, moved to Seattle in 1979, and became a leader in the Jewish community.

U.S. Attorney John McKay said Monday that an FBI investigation continues, and that federal hate crime charges could accompany state murder charges.
