W W n Navajo code talker Joe Morris dies at 85 LOMA LINDA, Calif. (AP) — Navajo code talker Joe Mor ris, one o f m ore than 400 American Indians who used the language of their ancestors to relay secret battlefield orders during World War II, has died. He was 85. The longtime resident of the Mojave Desert community of D aggett died Sunday after a stroke at the Veterans Adminis tration Loma Linda Healthcare System, spokesman Dave Allen said Thursday. N avajo code talkers were young Navajo men who used their language to successfully transmit secret communications in every major engagement in the Pacific theater, including Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Morris kept secret what he did during his Marine Corps service until President Ronald Reagan declassified the role of the code talkers in 1982. Mor ris then began giving presenta tions to schools and colleges. The Navajo dialect never left the Southwest United States and the language was never written down.

All seven victims were hos pitalized, at least two with criti cal injuries, Auburn Police Com mander Jamie Sidell said. Two others received minor injuries while trying to flee the scene. Sidell said the shooting hap pened at about 1:30 a.m. at a crowded nightclub inside the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Seattle. The suspect’s name wasn’t released, but Sidell identified him as a 42-year-old man from the Covington area, southeast of Seattle. S id ell said the shoo ting “stemmed from domestic vio lence,” and that the woman the suspect went to the casino look ing for was possibly his wife or girlfriend. “She was in the company of another male. Both were danc ing, both were out there on the dance floor,” he said. “He went up there with a purpose, so we have to assume at this point he was looking for the female vic tim in this case.” Upon finding the woman, the suspect shot her and her dance partner with a handgun. He then fired multiple rounds, hitting five more people, Sidell said. ■ He started to flee the club, t but a security officer tackled him. The man was detained and has been arrested, Sidell said. Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said four o f the v ic tim s-th re e w om en and a m an—w ere brought to her Seattle facility. She said two were in critical con dition and two were serious. The other three shooting vic tims were transported to Valley M edical C enter in R enton, which declined to release infor mation on their conditions Sun day. Two other people received minor injuries while trying to flee the scene with the rest of the crowd, police said. None of the victims’ names were released.
