Survivor testifies in Wah Mee club massacre trial
The Seattle witness Wai Chin, 61, identified Benjamin Ng and Willie Mak as gunmen in the Wah Mee Chinatown gambling club massacre. Chin said all three men may have fired as 13 people were killed and others wounded in Washington state’s worst mass killing. He described the shooting as loud, with bullets flying, and testified Ng robbed victims while two others may have fired. Prosecutors say Ng knew the plan to rob and kill, while defense calls Chin confused. Mak faces trial later. Tony Ng remains at large.
