'I Was Trying To Save The Baby'

August 8, 2006

By Associated Press


NEW YORK - Dayna Klein was writing thank you notes and making telephone calls in her office at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle when she heard what sounded like bubble wrap popping.

When she also heard screaming and hurried footsteps, she got up from her desk and went to the office doorway and encountered a man holding a handgun.

As he pointed the gun at the pregnant Klein, she reflexively covered her stomach with her left arm. The bullet pierced her forearm and thigh - but missed her midsection.

She later called 911 and persuaded the gunman to speak with the operator, leading to his surrender. The July 28 shooting rampage - fueled partly by ethnic hatred, authorities say - left one woman dead and five others, including Klein, injured.

what a horrible thing, is that is what is coming here now, blowback from the failed policies in
the Middle East, we need Carter and Clinton to help with this now, I don't care about Jim Baker
and his secret plan, we need somebody besides Conde and Bolton now. This is not a bash Israel
post, this is much anti-american sentiment stirred up now and any of us could be targeted.
