pudge's Journal: Shawna Forde Arrested for Double Murder

In yet another bizarre turn for Everett resident Shawna Forde, she has now been arrested in Pima County, Arizona for the murder of Raul Flores, 29, and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia, and injuring the mother of the family.

Readers may recall she was beaten in her home December, a week after her husband was shot three times. She reported being shot the following month.

Two other people, Jason Eugene Bushand Albert Robert Gaxiola, were arrested with Forde. They are charged with two counts of first degree murder, one of first degree burglary, and one of aggravated assault.

Detectives say the three broke into the Flores home, pretending to be police officers, on the evening of May 30, shot the three family members. The mother survived, called 911, and shot Bush. Detectives say they were looking for drugs and money.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said of Forde, "If you look at her history closely, and you know what we know, she is at best a pyschopath."

Forde was essentially kicked out of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps several years ago and formed her own group, Minutemen American Defense.
