Verlot man shot by deputies is named VERLOT -- The Snohomish County Medical Examiner on Tuesday identified Daniel L. Wasilchen as the man killed by deputies Friday night.Wasilchen, 44, died from multiple gunshot wounds to his torso, the medical examiner said. His death was ruled a homicide. The shooting apparently was linked to a disagreement over removal of noxious weeds on Wasilchen's property. The county's noxious weed coordinator reportedly was going door-to-door Friday seeking homeowner permission to use an herbicide. Wasilchen became confrontational and threatened to get a gun, officials said. The weed coordinator called 911. When Snohomish County deputies responded, Wasilchen had a handgun, Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said. Shots were fired, and Wasilchen died. The deputies involved were placed on leave during an investigation. The weed coordinator was asked to stop going door-to-door. Friends describe Wasilchen as friendly and helpful to neighbors. He worked as a crane operator at Boeing. Court records show in 1986 he pleaded guilty to third-degree assault after getting into a fight with Everett police. Friday night's shooting along the Mountain Loop Highway is being investigated by a multi-agency team of homicide detectives who are summoned when police are involved in a death. The Snohomish County prosecutor's office will review the incident and determine if the use of force was justified. Jackson Holtz: 425-339-3437 or jholtz@heraldnet.com |
