Leroy Lange, a 64-year-old man from Alger, Washington, was killed on September 2, 2008, when a shooter opened fire on motorists on Interstate 5. Lange was driving his SUV after visiting his son when 28-year-old Isaac Zamora fired at his vehicle, inflicting a fatal wound. Lange was the last of six people killed during a single-day shooting spree that also wounded others and began when Zamora shot and killed a responding Skagit County Sheriff’s deputy, Anne Jackson, at the deputy’s call response to a disturbance at Zamora’s home.

Reports say Zamora stole firearms from a neighbor, continued shooting at locations across the community and on the highway, then drove to the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office and surrendered. Court filings described Zamora’s history of mental health struggles; he pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated murder and entered a not guilty by reason of insanity plea on two other murder counts. Lange’s family later filed a lawsuit alleging state supervision failures, and the state reached a settlement with the victims’ families.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Leroy Lange in the days before September 2, 2008, who might share memories of him?
