| Description | The owner of a Kent auto-painting business shot the son of Lt. Gov. Brad Owen on Monday before turning the gun on himself after a workplace dispute. The man is a close friend of Owen's, somebody with whom he often hunts and fishes, the lieutenant governor said Monday.
Mark Owen, 37, the lieutenant governor's son, was in satisfactory condition Monday night at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being shot in the stomach and wrist; he was being prepared for surgery on his hand late Monday.
Carlos Fernandez, 63, president and owner of KBP & Fabrications in Kent, was in critical condition at Harborview with a gunshot wound to his head.
Mark Owen, a minority owner in the business at 831 Fifth Ave. S., works as bookkeeper there.
"We're elated that Mark is OK, but it is a horrible tragedy because the person who shot my son is also one of my very, very best friends, and it does not look very good for him right now," Brad Owen said at an impromptu hospital news conference.
"How do you comprehend anybody shooting anybody, [much] less your own son by your own friend? That's all I can tell you."
Mark Owen has worked at KBP as a bookkeeper and financial adviser for three years, brought to the business through his father's friendship with Fernandez. |
