Dispatcher kept victim calm during tense White Center home invasion
by Q13 News Staff
WHITE CENTER, Wash. — It was a call that every 911 dispatcher trains for: a break-in in White Center that turned deadly after a homeowner shot and killed the suspect.It was 2:30 in the morning and the victim was hiding in a closet for safety.
“Do they know you’re there?” Dispatcher Zoe Birkbeck asked him during the 911 call.
“No, no, no,” the man replied.
“Stay quiet…. Keep yourself safe,” she said.
Investigators say the 35-year-old homeowner believed several intruders were making their way into his home from a backyard window. But we now know it was just one man, Joey Anderson, who the owner shot and killed in self defense.

Jury agrees that 2013 Milan shooting was self-defense
Cassandra Stephenson
A 71-year-old Milan man now walks free after a Gibson County jury determined he was not guilty in the shooting death of another man five years ago.Jerry Heavner was accused of shooting then-58-year-old James Cannon in the head after an argument in December 2013.
The jury decided on April 23 that Heavner acted in self-defense. The decision puts an end to a yearslong case that included a mistrial in 2014 due to audience comments heard by the jury and a rejected appeal attempt.
“I commend the jurors for conscientiously and patiently listening to all the evidence, and determining that Mr. Jerry Heavner acted in self-defense,” Heavner’s attorney Tim Crocker wrote in a statement. “However, I must also express my sorrow and condolences to the family of the deceased.”
Cannon’s family did not respond to requests for comment.“I’m glad it’s over,” Heavner said about the verdict. “I had good lawyers, and they just didn’t have a case.”

Friday Trifecta, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes- strike three and they are out. The Dispatcher article mentioned several intruders, but without a head count there can’t be an accurate ITW. A small item but I do try to post with accuracy.

Road rage vs Trooper rage? The hot tempered young fool is lucky that he wasn’t in Montgomery County where they likely would have brought in child protective services and taken his child into custody, as well.

To paraphrase “the Magnificent Seven: the guy you need to worry about is who GAVE him those ears.
Yeah, I am really surprised they did not add Child Endangerment to the list of charges. He knowingly pulled in front of the “speeding” Firetruck, and then stopped short. As quoted, a firetruck weighs 45,000lbs (not sure if that includes the water). For those of you vaguely familiar with driving tanks over cars in Korea, it means that when you slam on the brakes it does not stop immediately. It tries to slow down, and anything between it and the place it decides it will stop…just goes along for the ride.
I had similar experience when I was driving a city bus before joining the Army in Austin, TX. In the left lane of an access road preparing to get on I-35, idiot in right lane (four lanes over) decides he really needs to get on the highway and “did not see the bus” (which if you only look in your mirror from four lanes over is highly likely). I saw him coming and started applying the brakes, but was going 55mph (max speed by limiter), when the bus stopped I had folded his pickup truck in half around the front right corner of the bus (bent the frame of the truck, folded door in, etc.) Not even a scratch on the bus.
That idiot was lucky the Firetruck driver was going slow, and aware or he would have been wearing his child at his funeral because they would have been inseparable (literally).
