Naveed Haq

SEATTLE - The mother of Naveed Haq wept as she testified at his murder trial in Seattle about mental problems she blames for his shooting spree at the Jewish Federation Office.

The 54-year-old Pasco woman, Nahida Haq, says her son went from being an honor student to a young man who was agitated, heard voices and thought people were eavesdropping on him.

She testified Wednesday that he was fired from every job he held in the years leading up to the shooting in Seattle.

The 32-year-old Tri-Cities man is pleading innocent by reason of insanity to charges of murder and attempted murder for the attack in July of 2006 that left one woman dead and five wounded.
