Police: Shooting suspect worked at Washington state prison

LAKE STEVENS, Wash. (AP) — Authorities in Washington state have identified a man police believe fatally shot his roommate this week as a longtime corrections officer at Monroe Correctional Complex. The Daily Herald reported that 44-year-old Emmanuel Perez was arrested Monday on a domestic violence murder charge and was booked into the Snohomish County Jail. Police said he ran from the scene of a shooting at an apartment complex in Lake Stevens and was in possession of a .40-caliber pistol, drugs and other drug paraphernalia. His attorney John Chase said Perez worked at the prison for about 14 years. Court records confirm he was employed at the facility as early as 2008.
