KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) — Surveillance footage and witness statements contradict a Kirkland man’s claim that he fatally shot a driver in self-defense during a road rage encounter near the Seattle Costco store last month. Prosecutors say Angel Valderrama has been charged with second-degree murder. He’s accused of shooting 68-year-old Robert Jensen on July 21. Jensen was unarmed. Valderrama remains jailed in lieu of $2 million bail. He’s scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 1. Five people, including Valderrama, called 911 to report the shooting near the entrance to Costco’s parking lot. Valderrama told police Jensen had threatened to kill him but prosecutors say witnesses and video contradict several details of his account.
