They complied, but as he started outside, he told police, Gaston Shelton took a half-step toward him. Woods shot him in the chest. Shennon Shelton tried to grab Woods from the side. Woods shot him in the neck. “Woods said that he would have shot more Samoans but his gun misfired,” an Auburn police officer wrote in a probable cause statement. Gaston staggered among the throng of people in front of the duplex. A red Ford Explorer pulled up; people tried to load the fatally wounded Shennon Shelton into it. In the melee, someone set off a canister of pep- per spray. Woods tossed the gun, ran behind his house and asked a neighbor to call 911. Police arrived, caught him and brought him to a local hospital to treat facial cuts he sus- tained in the fight. He was booked for investigation of second-degree murder and first-degree assault. The bullet just missed Gaston’s heart. His school is organizing a basketball tourna- ment to raise money for his family. “We’re doing great,” Leau said recently. They complied, but as he started outside, he told police, Gaston Shelton took a half-step toward him. Woods shot him in the chest uncle, Pastor Steve Leau, said 200 people showed up at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle as he underwent surgery, and among them was UW head football coach Steve Sarkisian. Students who loved Shennon Shelton wept and called him a great role model. The “We forgive the one who did the shooting, and we ask the Lord to do the same.” About two dozen of Woods’ relatives showed up for his bail hearing. His mother cried hysterically. His uncle, Mario Peterson, said Woods had been in trouble for minor things before, such as skipping school, but had been doing better recently. He had been spending a lot of time in a recording studio, working on rap music with friends, and he had earned his GED. “This should not have happened,” he said. The cul-de-sac’s neighbors agree: if only the police had arrived sooner; if only the brothers had stopped and waited; if only Woods and his family had behaved like adults when Gaston first appeared. Woods has been released from custody while prosecutors review his self-defense claims and decide whether to file charges. The police have been driving into the cul- de-sac several times a day, sometimes park- ing and lingering, but Maun still fears what might happen next. “After all the attention dies down, it’s gonna happen,” he said. “The retribution is gonna happen. You just know it.” ATTENTION: ND ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR National College of Natural Medicine seeks to fill this part-time, 20 hr per week position which provides admin- istrative support and coordination for the ND faculty.
