Man shot at Highway 2 rest stop dies
A man who was shot at a Highway 2 rest stop near Leavenworth died over the weekend at a Seattle hospital.
Jay Kneer, 45, had been shot in the head Oct. 11 while demanding a ride.
The Chelan County sheriff’s office declined to pursue criminal charges against a 66-year-old Lynnwood man who admitted shooting Kneer.
Dennis Shaw told investigators that Kneer grew angry and swung a whiskey bottle at him when Shaw refused to give him a ride.
Shaw says he fired the gun in an attempt to scare Kneer away.
