One dead, six injured as gunman blasts Jewish centre

An armed man sprayed a Jewish centre with bullets, killing a woman and injuring at least five others before he was arrested.

The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the security door at the Jewish Federation in Seattle yesterday after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker.
