‘Suspicious incident’ ends in shooting Man fatally shot during an encounter with a deputy in Monroe. By Eric Stevick and Rikki King Herald Writers
MONROE — A man was fatally shot early Tuesday as a
Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy investigated a report that a stranger was knocking on doors during the middle of the night along a stretch of country road outside Monroe. The shooting occurred in the 17500 block of Tester Road. The deputy arrived on the scene at 12:31 a.m. and called for backup. Four minutes later,
he reported that shots had been fired, said Everett police officer Aaron Snell, a spokesman for the Snohomish County Multi-Agency Response Team, which is handling the investigation. “There was a suspicious incident called in,” Snell said. “The deputy was responding to that. The deputy requested help.” Snell said he couldn’t comment
on whether the suspect was armed. Detectives did recover a handgun at the scene, he said. The deputy, 31, was uninjured. He’s been with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office since 2007. In keeping with policy, he was placed on administrative leave. The man who died was in his 60s. Deputies impounded a Dodge Neon that apparently was
driven to the area by the man. It had become stuck. “We are not exactly sure why he was here,” Snell said. KIRO TV, The Herald’s news partner, reported there were indications the man lived in the neighborhood. No name was See SHOOT, back page, this section

hoopla, a streaming service that includes movies, books and music. Film options, for now, are more limited than on shelves but unlike Netflix, hoopla has home exercise videos. Streaming shows promise, but it likely will take years before it replaces physical copies, said Jim McCluskey, the collection development assistant manager. Sno-Isle started adding popular films in 2009, while Everett’s always carried them. Before 2009, the Sno-Isle collection focused on independent and foreign films
SNOHOMISH — A cougar was spotted Tuesday morning off S. Machias Road, near Centennial Middle School and the Centennial Trail. Students ate lunch indoors as a precaution, Snohomish School District spokeswoman Kristin Foley said. The cougar wasn’t close enough to campus to prompt a lockdown. A Snohomish County sheriff’s sergeant was at the school for a routine safety check around 10:30 a.m. when he saw the animal, spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. “He saw it dash out in front of the car. It was very large,” she said. “He tried to follow it, but it took off into the brush.” The sergeant notified the school and state wildlife agents. He then drove along both directions of the trail warning bicyclists and joggers, Ireton said. He searched for about 45 minutes without spotting the animal again. “With all this nice weather and a lot of people using the trail, we just want people to keep an eye out,” Ireton said. As of late afternoon, there were no further sightings of the cougar, said Capt. Alan Myers with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. There also have been no reports of cougar attacks on pets or livestock

EVERETT — Friday afternoons are the busiest times for browsing the DVD shelves of the Mukilteo Library. Hoping to snag a copy of “American Sniper,” last year’s Oscar-nominated war biopic? Good luck. There were 858 pending holds for the movie on Tuesday, for 103 copies in Sno-Isle Libraries. It’s the most popular DVD among Sno-Isle’s 21 branches. The library’s DVD rentals have been climbing steadily for years, data show. Sno-Isle saw 2.1

At the Everett Public Library, on the other hand, DVD circulation is healthy but declining a bit, at 218,486 rentals in 2014 from 230,236 in 2008. Librarians at Sno-Isle are hesitant to cite any cause-andeffect for the growth. Likely, they said, it’s a combination of factors, including the decline of video stores, new technologies and shifts in library policy. Also add in cultural change, namely the phenomenon of binge-watching and the nostalgic appetite for childhood favorites. One generation gravitates to “The Andy
