Man fatally shot at party identified as Tulalip tribesman
Monday, August 5, 2002
TULALIP -- A man killed in a shooting at a party on the Tulalip Indian Reservation was identified yesterday as tribal member George Jimicum, authorities said.
Jimicum, 24, was shot multiple times during a fight at another tribal member's birthday party Saturday, police said. The shooter, a non-tribal member, then began firing into a crowd of people, injuring two others.
"He was shooting every which way," said 18-year-old Jennifer Young, who suffered a gunshot wound just above her left knee. "Everyone took off running."
Young was treated and released while another girl remained at Providence Everett Medical Center yesterday. Officials were not releasing any information on the girl because she is a minor, hospital spokeswoman Earlene Erickson said.
Police said they arrested a man, but would not provide further details. He was being held in Snohomish County Jail.
The man was treated at Harborview Medical Center for a gunshot wound to the hand, Tulalip police Chief Jay Goss said.
"There is no understanding how he got shot," Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Jorgensen said, adding that the man may have accidentally shot himself as he was firing his gun.
Police were investigating what led to the fight on Saturday and why the man was at the birthday party.
"We don't know why this person came in here with a gun," Jorgensen said.
