Six killed in shooting spree

A DRUG offender with mental health problems who was recently released from jail has killed six people in a shooting spree, including a policewoman.

Isaac Zamora, 28, also injured another officer during a high speed chase on a freeway in Washington state in the north-west of the US. Zamora had just served a six-month jail sentence for drug possession in Skagit County and was supposed to be under community supervision.

Among Zamora’s victims was Skagit County sheriff’s deputy Anne Jackson, 40, and a motorist who died on Interstate 5 as the suspect fled.
