A Seattle mother of four was fatally stabbed early today despite a court protection order against her knife-wielding ex-husband.
The 33-year-old victim was stabbed nearly two dozen times while attending a birthday party about 1 a.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in the 9100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way South.
The 39-year-old assailant burst into the hall, grabbed the victim and slashed her with a large knife, witnesses told police. The weapon was recovered at the scene.
A 32-year-old Kent man who was at the party pulled a hand gun and shot the suspect who later died at Harborview Medial Center.
Police spokeswoman Renee Witt said the party guest had a concealed-weapons permit. She said he likely won't face charges since he acted to prevent further harm.

LOL!
It seems strange that the victim could be stabbed a few dozen times at a birthday party before the good samaritan shot the punk. I guess maybe the victim was outside, or alone somewhere.
The woman had faith in the government gun-control system. It sure worked.
The stabber got exactly what he deserved. It’s only too bad that his ex-wife died.
How about lock and load?
Can you imagine how much taxpayer dollars he saved? I bet that one bullet saved over a million dollars.
Minus whatever money they spend playing PC games with the shooter.
Too bad his innocent ex died also....
Sad that anyone died... but innocent...does not necessarily follow..
Domestic disputes have origins which are hard to discern..
and the adversarial nature of our Juriprudence leads to false alligations & false testimony.
I have become convinced our justice system’s willingness to become involved is exacerbating the problem not making it better.
Lawyers playing games for profit with the lives of others.
I believe the entire process has become more a venue for revenue collection than conflict resolution.
