Twice-shot Renton officer slowly creates a new life

By Jennifer Sullivan

Seattle Times staff reporter

Larry Strauss misses many things about police work: the camaraderie, the adrenaline rush of 911 calls and catching bad guys.

But he's worried about being a target.

Twice-shot Renton officer slowly creates a new life


Doctors told Strauss that he was only a few centimeters from being killed. Strauss felt like the "unluckiest lucky man" alive.

Once able to run 20 miles a week, Strauss was forced to use a wheelchair immediately after the shooting. Though he gradually was able to hobble, walk and eventually run short distances, Strauss said the shooting left him forgetful.

Although the muscular 50-year-old looks healthy, he said the post-traumatic stress caused by the shooting is forcing him to retire. Strauss has been receiving disability pay from the department and will receive a pension after he retires.

An uncertain future

But as Strauss meets with state Department of Labor and Industries career counselors to decided what his future will hold — possibly a job as a photographer, an electrician, a computer programmer or an auto-body specialist — he spends most of his days puttering around the house, wishing he could be still be a cop, but not be in harm's way.

Renton Officer's Vest Stops Bullet In Shootout

By Jill Leovy

RENTON - A Renton police officer whose life may have been saved by a bullet-proof vest was released from the hospital this morning, a Valley Medical Center spokeswoman said.

The officer was wounded in an exchange of gunfire yesterday with a 50-year-old man who remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after being shot in the chest. The two faced off after the man entered an office building on South Grady Way with a gun, apparently to threaten his wife who was working there, witnesses said.

The officer, Larry Strauss, 34, was bruised in the chest when a bullet glanced off his bulletproof vest, which all Renton police officers are required to wear.

The gunman, whose identity has not been released, is in Harborview with bullet wounds in the chest and arm.

The shootings occurred about 5:10 p.m. Witnesses said Strauss traded shots with the man from behind a pickup as bystanders ran for cover behind cars and bushes.

Employees in the office building at 15 S. Grady Way said the man apparently was enraged because his wife, who works at a real-estate firm on the first floor, wanted a divorce.

The man showed up at his wife's office just after 5 p.m., yelling and demanding to see her, witnesses said.

``He came stomping in. He told us we had sold our last house,'' said Roy Brown, a realtor with MacPherson's Inc. Brown said the wife had arranged for him to take her place at the front desk yesterday afternoon because she feared her husband would make trouble. She was in a back office when her husband arrived.

The man's manner was frightening, Brown said. For the half-dozen realtors working in the office, the ordeal escalated when he left and returned with a pistol.

From a back room, they heard him kicking on the door. One realtor finally let him in after he threatened to shoot through the glass partition.

Once inside, ``he grabbed me and put that gun in my ribs and pulled me around some,'' said Brown. The man then went into the back offices and grabbed his wife, who apparently struggled free and followed other fleeing employees out a side door.

It was too late for Pat O'Brien to escape, however. Trapped between the gunman and the door, the realtor said he hunched at his desk, frantically dialing 911 while the man screamed and stormed about the room.

``I said to the operator, have you really sent someone down? Things are really getting hairy here,'' O'Brien said.

When police cars began pulling up around the building, the gunman went outside, O'Brien said.

Strauss had just arrived in the front of the building when the suspect jumped him from behind, said Linda Hicks, spokeswoman for the Renton Police Department. The two struggled a moment, then Strauss broke free and was hit in the chest with a bullet. Nonetheless, he managed to return fire, Hicks said.

When Dorothy Clark, a legal assistant on the third floor of the building, saw a man in black work clothes with graying hair on his knees on the sidewalk with his hands in the air.

``He had dropped the gun in the grass beside him and the officer was yelling at him to lie down,'' she said. ``I had no idea he'd been shot, but he finally lay face down, then turned over, and I saw blood on the ground.''

Ballistic trauma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The term ballistic trauma refers to a form of physical trauma sustained from the discharge of arms or munitions. The most common forms of ballistic trauma stem from firearms used in armed conflicts, civilian sporting and recreational pursuits, and criminal activity.


The degree of tissue disruption caused by a projectile is related to the size of the temporary versus permanent cavity it creates as it passes through tissue.


Non-fatal gunshot wounds frequently have severe and long-lasting effects, even after the victim has made a successful recovery. Typically, the consequences involve some form of major disfigurement and/or permanent disability.

Renton officer can't recall being shot

By Natalie Singer

Seattle Times staff reporter

When Renton police Officer Larry Strauss pulled his patrol car into a strip mall on a damp night in January, he planned to admonish three pedestrians for jaywalking.

After asking the first man for his name, Strauss turned his attention to the second. But instead of answering his questions, the man began to run. The man hopped into a van parked nearby and began shouting, Strauss recalled Tuesday in a King County courtroom.

Through the windshield, Strauss could see the man reach into his jacket pocket, triggering "a thought that he could be reaching for a weapon."

And then — blank.

The next thing he knew, Strauss was lying in the grass several yards away, firing his handgun at a suspect he could no longer see.

England -- Playing The Palace: Royal Open House Has Begun

By William Tuohy

Los Angeles Times

LONDON - Like many of her noble subjects, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II is bowing this summer to the sometimes cruel realities of modern economics.

Over the years, most of the stately homes in Britain have admitted the paying public to help finance upkeep. The list includes parts of Windsor Castle and the Princess of Wales' ancestral estate, Althorp House.

But never - until now - has the world's most famous royal residence and headquarters of the British monarchy been opened for public tours.

For eight weeks (beginning yesterday), however, that all is changing as Buckingham Palace hosts an anticipated 450,000 visitors willing to pay an adult admission of $12 for a peek at 18 of the more than 600 rooms in the palace.

The queen's motive for inviting the public to view the sumptuous staterooms of Buckingham Palace is a variation on the one that has opened all those other stately homes: She hopes to help pay for restoration of Windsor Castle, which was badly damaged in a fire last November.

The mother of all queues

The decision is being widely applauded here as giving her subjects a chance to see their monarchical heritage up close. And the anticipated lineup for the 7,000 tickets to be sold daily is already being referred to as "the mother of all queues."

"It's going to be the No. 1 attraction," said Isabel Coy, an official with the British Tourist Authority. "It's our living heritage. The real Royal Family runs a business from there. It's only open for a limited time, so there's a sort of exclusive cachet."
