Guilty in shooting spree Hans Hansen probably will spend the rest of his life in jail for targeting police stations and officers in three cities. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — The Lake Stevens man responsible for last year’s shooting spree that targeted police in three cities is facing

decades behind bars when he is sentenced later this month. A Snohomish County jury on Thursday convicted Hans Hansen of multiple counts of first-degree assault, drive-by shooting and discharging a firearm. Jurors

deliberated for two days but could not reach a verdict on two counts of attempted first-degree murder. Hansen, 44, was accused of trying to kill two Marysville police officers, including Sgt. James Maples, who was shot in the leg. The longtime officer also was hit by shrapnel. Jurors convicted Hansen of assaulting Maples and four

other officers. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Ed Stemler declined to say Thursday if Hansen will be retried on the attempted murder charges, but said the sentence that the defendant faces Nov. 24 “should amount to his natural life in prison.” See GUILTY, Page A6

TULALIP — Last Thursday, the children in Sarah Poyner Wallis’ kindergarten class at Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary School filtered in after the morning assembly. Maria Martin and Nik-Ko-Te St. Onge, teacher assistants with the Tulalip Tribes’ Lushootseed department, wish the kids good morning. ,” they said. The “ children said it back to them. The kids sat in a circle for their first lesson: a song, simply called “Hello Friend,” and sung in Lushootseed to the tune of “Frère Jacques.” For years Tulalip children have received lessons in their ancestral tongue at the Tulalip Montessori School and the Betty J. Taylor Early Learning Academy on the reservation.

the buzz

EVERETT — When results showed up on election night, Brian Sullivan couldn’t hide his dismay. The Democrat, who has spent most of his adult life in politics, was running for a third term on the Snohomish County Council. And on Nov. 3 he was trailing first-time political candidate Greg Tisdel by 98 votes. Throughout the week, they took turns swapping the lead. “It took the wind out of my sails for a few days, that’s for sure,” Sullivan said this week. By Thursday, Sullivan was on top by 474 votes. With just 419 votes left to count in the race, that puts Sullivan on track to keep his job. Tisdel admitted defeat. A Democrat with close ties to the local business community, he was competing for the County Council’s District 2 seat, representing an area that stretches almost from Picnic Point to Kayak Point, including Everett, Tulalip, Mukilteo and nearby unincorporated areas. “It’s obvious with the amount of votes left, it’s his job,” Tisdel said. “I intend to hopefully work with him on things in the future because I’m not going anywhere and he’s the elected person and there’s a lot of big issues that hopefully he paid attention to and hopefully will engage himself in.” Sullivan’s lead of more than 2 percent also puts the race out of recount range. Washington state law requires a machine recount when the difference between the top two candidates is less than 2,000 votes, but also less than 0.5 percent of the total votes received. One Lynnwood City Council race is headed for a recount. As of Thursday afternoon, incumbent Benjamin Goodwin led challenger Chris Frizzell by only 14 votes. With more than 5,300 votes counted, that put the contenders for Council Position 5 within a half-percent of a
