Seattle police continue to search for the driver who intentionally ran down two teenagers with her car in a fit of rage Wednesday morning, then drove away. Police say a fight over a pit bull sparked the violence that left the teens injured and in the hospital.
Friends identified the victims as 17-year-old Jessica Vega Lopez and 18-year-old Cassandra Goodwin, students at Chief Sealth High School in West Seattle. Both were treated for injuries at Harborview Medical Center.
Police said a 37-year-old woman in a black Honda intentionally hit the two students just after 10 a.m. in the 2600 block of SW Thistle, across the street from the school.
Witnesses say the two teens were walking to school when a pit bull ran up to one of the girls. One of them hit the dog because she got scared. That's when the owner of the pit bull ran over and hit the girl with her hand.
"It's not like she socked the dog or kicked the dog or was trying to hurt the dog. She pushed the dog," said Amelia Prior, Cassandra's sister.
When the girls walked away, the owner of the dog went back to her house and got into her car. Witnesses said the woman rolled her car near the girls, stopped and then hit the gas, barreling right into the two teens.
"The car came in out of nowhere," said Terry Thomas, witness. "I jumped out of the way because I thought I was about to get hit. Next thing I know, I heard boom, boom. I saw my friends go flying in the air and the car just took off and kept going."
"She purposely moved around other kids, slowed down and then immediately hit the gas to hit them," said Chelsea White, witness.
Friends tried to keep the girls calm while a nurse who lived nearby rushed to help until medics arrived.
"Jessica had blood coming out from her mouth and was starting to hyperventilate and there was blood on (Cassandra's) head and all over her mouth," said Chelsea White, who was walking to school with the victims.
The 17-year-old suffered leg injuries, while the 18-year-old suffered head and upper body injuries. Both were taken to Harborview Medical Center. Lopez was scheduled to be released Wednesday, but Goodwin was in intensive care in serious condition. Her family said she may have broken bones and internal bleeding.
"We didn’t think it would escalate from a fight to them getting hit," said Katie Milliner, who was standing next to the victims.
Police were still looking for the driver, described as a 37-year-old woman in a black Honda sedan. Police say the woman called 911 shortly after the incident and said she would turn herself into police, but she still hasn't done so.
If you spot the vehicle or have information about the driver, you are asked to call police.

birth defects and uranium
'via Blog this'On many occasions, I pointed out that we need funds to build a research institute and the linked monitoring stations. Unfortunately, majority of you simply brushed off my request. I wonder if these photos could make you think Uranium munitions
URANIUM MUNITIONS
Due to the use of massive amount of uranium munitions used by the US forces in the initial bombing and subsequently, massive amount of congenital deformities occur all over Afghanistan. The rate of various cancers has gone up significantly. Leukemia and esophageal cancers are very high among children. According to doctors at maternity and children hospitals in Kabul, the rate of various congenital deformities have increased by many folds since the US invasion. In fact, the magnitude of man made isotopes wasestablished by the Uranium Medical Research Center after their investigators made to trips to Afghanistan and collected urine and soil samples. They established that the rate of man made isotopes was gone up 2000 times in some subjects located near the bombed areas.
Since uranium used in the weapons have a half-life of 4.5 billion years, the US forces ensured that generations of Afghans suffer from cancers and deformities. This is certainly not development. In fact, it is the biggest crime ever committed by anyone in the history of humanity.

Yet the US was well aware of the potential effects on civilians and military personnel of the chemical toxicity and radiological properties of DU ammunition long before the Gulf war began, as the following excerpts of a US Army document categorically state:
"Aerosol DU (Depleted Uranium) exposures to soldiers on the battlefield could be significant with potential radiological and toxicological effects. [...] Under combat conditions, the most exposed individuals are probably ground troops that re-enter a battlefield following the exchange of armour-piercing munitions. [...] We are simply highlighting the potential for levels of DU exposure to military personnel during combat that would be unacceptable during peacetime operations. [...DU is..]... a low level alpha radiation emitter which is linked to cancer when exposures are internal, [and] chemical toxicity causing kidney damage. [...] Short term effects of high doses can result in death, while long term effects of low doses have been linked to cancer. [...] Our conclusion regarding the health and environmental acceptability of DU penetrators assume both controlled use and the presence of excellent health physics management practices. Combat conditions will lead to the uncontrolled release of DU. [...] The conditions of the battlefield, and the long term health risks to natives and combat veterans may become issues in the acceptability of the continued use of DU kinetic penetrators for military applications."
" By illegally using hundreds of tons of depleted uranium (DU) against Iraq ~ Britain and America have gravely endangered not only the Iraqis but the whole world: " Dr. Chris Busby, the British radiation expert and UK representative on the European Committee on Radiation Risk .

'via Blog this'The News-Herald reports that Officer Phil Croucher, a 16-year Mentor Police Department veteran who carried out the act, was off-duty at an Oct. 14 Cleveland Browns football game when the incident occurred.
Croucher will be suspended two days, with one day held in abeyance upon completion of an alcohol evaluation, which will be arranged and paid for by the city, the newspaper reports.
The stunt, in which the nine other officers paid Croucher $50 each to perform, has been viewed on YouTube nearly 300,000 times.
“The fact money was collected for this ‘dare,’ should not detract from [Croucher] assuming final responsibility for this poor decision,” wrote Lt. Tom Powers, who conducted interviews with the officers involved.
Written reprimands were issued to Lt. Dan Molnar, Sgt. Dustin Richards, Sgt. Tim Nekic and Patrolmen Scott Bell, Bill Mackey, Richard Gerber, John Walker, Jason Myers and Chris Ivanovics, the newspaper reports.
