Shooting at University of Washington
Victims
- Rebecca Jane Griego (26, Female), Administrator, Fatality
Shooter
Jonathan Rowan (41, Male), Other, Fatality (Suicide)
Occurred on Apr 2, 2007
When police arrived at the fourth-floor office in Gould Hall, they found Rebecca Jane Griego and Jonathan Rowan dead. A six-shot revolver was found in the office. Witnesses said Griego, a 26-year-old program coordinator in the Department of Urban Design & Planning, had taken out a domestic-violence protection order against Rowan, 41 on March 6. She was so frightened he might attack her that she moved a couple of times, changed her home phone number and worked from home for a month so he couldn't find her at work. Monica Le, a junior at the UW, was in a fourth floor classroom when she heard the shots. She said no one was sure it was gunfire at first since loud noises sometimes come from a wood shop in the building. Her class continued for a few minutes until police arrived and told everyone to leave. Learn More (nwsource.com)
