Bin Laden unarmed when killed Obama mulls whether to release corpse photo By Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden was unarmed when Navy SEALs burst into his room and shot him to death, the White House said Tuesday, a change in the official account that raised questions about whether the U.S. ever planned to capture the terrorist leader alive. The Obama administration was still debating whether to release gruesome images of bin Laden’s corpse, balancing efforts to demonstrate to the world that he was dead against the risk that

But CIA Director Leon Panetta said a photograph would be released. “I don’t think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public,” Panetta said in an interview with “NBC Nightly News.” Asked again later by The Associated Press, he said, “I think it will.”
Asked about the final confrontation with bin Laden, Panetta said: “I don’t think he had a lot of time to say anything.” The CIA chief told PBS NewsHour, “It was a firefight going up that compound. . . . I think it — this was all split-second action on the part of the SEALs.” Panetta said bin Laden made
“some threatening moves that were made that clearly represented a clear threat to our guys. And that’s the reason they fired.” The SEALs were back in the U.S. at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for debriefing on the raid, lawmakers said after meeting with Panetta. The question of how to present
bin Laden’s death to the world is a difficult balancing act for the White House. President Barack Obama told Americans justice had been done, but the White House also declared that bin Laden’s body was treated respectfully and sent to rest in a somber ceremony at sea. Turn

Peninsula College custodian Al Johnson, right, recounts his memories of his recent heart attack with part-time college employee Jennifer Frazier, who assisted in the opening moments of the coronary near the site of the incident in the school’s science and technology building on the Port Angeles campus.
PORT ANGELES — No one saw Al Johnson collapse when he was felled by a heart attack in January while working on the Peninsula College campus in Port Angeles. The custodian at Peninsula College might not have survived if not for the “perfect storm” of rescuers who discovered him just in time, said Port Angeles Fire Chief Dan McKeen. Because of the emergency aid he received Jan. 7, Johnson was back at work three months later March 28. “There aren’t even studies done on the survival rates of unwitnessed cardiac events,” McKeen said. “That is how rare it is.” After six minutes, the chances of survival are minimal, he said. Student Andy Pierrot was the first to find Johnson. He summoned college staff

Campus Security Officer Nate Thompson phoned 9-1-1 and ran to another building for an automatic external defibrillator — or AED — which delivers a therapeutic dose of electrical current to change an irregular heart rhythm to a normal one. Meanwhile, Steigerwald started chest compressions to get the blood flowing. Turn
