Alleged Pullman shooter arrested in Seattle

Jakori Buchanan, 20, was arrested in Seattle on charges of first-degree assault for allegedly shooting WSU football player Uilisone “Sone” Falealo during a party in Pullman. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when Falealo, along with teammates, acted as security at the gathering. After Buchanan allegedly assaulted a female guest, Falealo confronted him, leading to a fight. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Buchanan swinging his gun at Falealo before firing. Falealo was hospitalized but has since been released.

Buchanan's attorney claims he acted in self-defense, stating that he and his cousin were attacked at the party. The attorney noted that Buchanan is a full-ride academic scholar at the University of Washington. This incident raises concerns about safety at social gatherings and the responsibilities of hosts and attendees.
