Wood Carver Killed by Police

A Seattle police officer shot and killed a partially deaf man Monday when he failed to obey an order to drop a knife he was holding while crossing a downtown street. John Williams was Native American wood carver who social workers say had a drinking problem. Leaders of his tribe, First Nations, held a news conference today, saying the shooting was unjustified. Here's video about the gathering from KING-5 TV news.
