Former Prosecutor Arrested for Attempting to Murder Rival Lawyer

SEATTLE (AP) � A former prosecutor was arrested for investigation of attempted murder after he shot and critically injured a lawyer he had been scheduled to face at a court hearing, authorities said.

Kevin Y. Jung suffered at least one gunshot wound after he pulled his Lexus sedan into the parking lot outside his quiet suburban office Wednesday morning, Bellevue police said. He was in critical condition early Thursday at Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue.

Witnesses reported the shooter's description and license plate number to officers, who tracked the plates through a rental agency to William R. Joice, a former Snohomish County deputy prosecutor. Joice was jailed Wednesday night for investigation of attempted murder.
