The Cambodian grandmother who killed three family
members before turning the gun on herself a week ago wore the eerie expression
of a "smiley face" as she stalked relatives through their West Seattle home,
her
daughter recalls.
Thyda Luellen Phan, who was shot twice but survived,
said that her 60-year-old mother could barely walk, but during the deadly
rampage, "was running so quick nobody can stop her."

The Cambodian grandmother who killed three family
members before turning the gun on herself a week ago wore the eerie expression
of a "smiley face" as she stalked relatives through their West Seattle home,
her
daughter recalls.
Thyda Luellen Phan, who was shot twice but survived,
said that her 60-year-old mother could barely walk, but during the deadly
rampage, "was running so quick nobody can stop her."
The only explanation
the family could give for the killings was that Saroueun Sok was
possessed.
"It wasn't her. I can tell from her face. It wasn't her," said
Phan, 42.
Phan and about two dozen family members
gathered at Khemarak Pothiram Buddhist Temple in Seattle's South Park
neighborhood Tuesday evening for a prayer vigil. They have prayed daily since
last Thursday's shootings and will continue until the funeral and cremation of
the three victims and Sok on Saturday, family members said.
Three members
of Phan's family — her husband Choeun Harm, 43, and two daughters, Jennifer
Harm, 17, and Molina Phan, 14 — were killed. The three died of multiple gunshot
wounds, according to the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
Sok died
from a single gunshot wound to the head, the Medical Examiner's Office
said.
Two of Phan's other children managed to escape from the home after
Phan's mother opened fire.
Tuesday outside the temple, Phan, still in
pain from the two gunshot wounds, recalled her mother's struggle with mental
illness, the family's history in Cambodia and the day of the
shootings.
She said her mother rarely spoke of her experiences in her
native Cambodia, but Phan said that two of Sok's children died there, likely of
starvation under the deadly Khmer Rouge regime. Sok's parents were also killed
and she fled with her husband and surviving daughter.
The family spent
almost five years in a Thai refugee camp and another year in the Philippines
before being relocated to Philadelphia, where Phan met her husband and had
their
first child.
Phan and Harm separated for four years and she said she had
three sons with a new husband in Seattle. But that marriage failed and her
second husband won custody of the boys. Phan said her mother's mental illness
began after Phan lost custody of her children.
"When my ex took the kids,
she lost her memory. She sit and cry," she said.
Phan and Harm reunited
and had five children together, she said.
Phan said her mother enjoyed
the children, often spending time with them before bed, watching television and
laughing as they sang to a karaoke machine.
Sok never got mad at her, she
said.
A year ago, Sok was hospitalized for a month with symptoms of
schizophrenia and depression, her daughter said. In the previous weeks, Sok
told
family members she could not tolerate colors, that she only wanted to see
white.
She began wearing all white, Phan said.
In the Buddhist religion, white
is associated with purity. It is also the color family members wear to a
funeral, she said.
When she was released from the hospital Sok's health
seemed restored. "She went back to color," Phan said. Her mother and father
moved in with the extended family.
At the end of August, the extended
family was forced to move from their home in White Center to the three-bedroom
home in West Seattle. Eleven members of the family lived on three floors. Phan
said that her mother became upset that some of her possessions had been lost in
the move. She thought the television was talking directly to her thoughts. She
said that nobody liked her, that someone would try to kill her.
On the
afternoon of the shooting, Phan, who worked the night shift at a nearby bowling
alley and casino, had just awoken and showered. Her husband, Choeun, and her
son, Kevin, 16, returned home from mowing lawns and were planning to go
fishing.
Sok, dressed completely in white, came downstairs with a check
for her son-in-law to take to the bank. Choeun teased his mother-in-law, Phan
said, saying she should give the money to him. Then he turned to tie his
shoes.
Sok pulled a handgun from her jacket pocket and shot him in the
head.
Phan said she thought some fireworks had gone off. But Kevin then
began screaming that his father was shot.
Phan ran to her mother and
tried to grab the gun. Sok shot her through the shoulder, then took aim at
Kevin
and two younger sisters on the living-room couch, but missed. She tried to load
another clip. When the gun jammed, Sok ran upstairs to retrieve another
handgun.
A cousin said that before she opened fire, Sok told her to stay
in an upstairs bedroom. The grandmother, speaking as though talking about a
stranger, said, "someone has come to kill my daughter and kill her
kids."
Downstairs, Phan and her older daughter, Jennifer, crowded around
Choeun. Phan was on the phone to 911 when her mother returned and shot her and
Jennifer. Sok was smiling, as if "she was playing a game," Phan
said.
"She not even care. She [was] not even there. It was not her face
at all."
Sok stalked the children into the basement. Several escaped
through a window, but Sok circled the house and shot through a window, hitting
Molina where she stood over Jennifer, who had collapsed on the floor.
At
the hospital, Phan said she asked family members: "Where is Daddy? Where are
Jennifer and Molina? Are they here at the hospital, too?" Until, finally, a
social worker told her they had all been killed. She left the hospital after
only a day, and family members have been dressing her wounds.
On Tuesday,
at the temple, family members stroked Phan's arm and held her as she knelt at
an
altar on which incense and candles burned before photos of her mother,
daughters
and husband.
A family friend, Sean Phuong, said the family prayed and
chanted for forgiveness for Sok, and for the release of the others' spirits
from
their bodies so they could be reborn into new lives. He said that in the
Buddhist cycles of birth and death, someone who kills cannot be reborn as a
human. But Phan said the others could return, perhaps even to their own family
in the form of a new grandchild or nephew or niece.
"I hope they come
back," she said.

HERE ARE THE FACTS :
CAMBODIA today
remains OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM 1979-2010.
why ?
Because of this act .
Did
anybody from the US foreign policy makers team listen to his
?
President Bill
Clinton announced the formal normalization of diplomatic relations
with Vietnam on
July 11, 1995. Subsequent to President Clinton's normalization announcement, in
August 1995, both nations upgraded their Liaison Offices opened during January
1995 to embassy status. As diplomatic ties between the nations grew.
While
Vietnam continues to occupy Cambodia as of today despite these 10 UN
resolutions
?
THE CLINTONS ARE BECOMING NOW THE ANTI KHMER PEOPLE TODAY BY THESE
ACTS
Strong Resolution on
Cambodia Human Rights Abuses
Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human
Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a resolution condemning
Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of Cambodian human
rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5
abstentions.
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution
A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a
withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia.
10 UN
RESOLUTIONS,(1979-1988) VOTED BY 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES ,CALL VIETNAM TO CEASE
HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA & REMOVE ALL HER TROOPS FROM THE COUNTRY, ARE NOT
RESPECTED AS OF TODAY.

VIETNAM.
THE VIETNAMESE WEARING THE LABEL "CAMBODIAN"
FAKE "CAMBODIAN" HEAD OF THE INTERPOL OF
CAMBODIA
WHAT RIGHTS DO THESE VIETNAMESE INVADERS HAVE TO RUN CAMBODIA IN
VIOLATION OF THE 10 UN
RESOLUTION?
WHO ARE HAPPY THEN ?
THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS OCCUPIER OF CAMBODIA OF COURSE WITH
THE BLESSING FROM THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY IN US CONGRESS AND AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
A REMEMBERING :
THE COOPER -CHURCH AMENDMENT VOTED IN
1970'S BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IN CONGRESS HAD RESULTED:
1. THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE GOVT CREATED BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY DURING
THE 1950'S , THE CREATURE THAT CONSIDERED AS ALLIED OF AMERICA. IT FOLLOWED BY
THE FUTILE & CRUEL MURDER OF THE NGO DINH DIEM FAMILY....
2. THE
ABANDONMENT OF CAMBODIA OF LON NOL , TO THE COMMUNISTS WITH MILLION OF
CAMBODIAN DEAD.
3. THE COMMUNIST TAKE OVER OF THE ENTIRE VIETNAM.,COOKED BY
THE COMMUNIST AGENTS WITHIN THE US GOVERNMENT.
REVEALING THAT THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY IS PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNIST REGIME AROUND THE WORLD EVER SINCE
.
THIS DUPLICITY AND BETRAYAL AMONG THE US DIPLOMAT PRO COMMUNISTS WHO
HAD LED TO THE ABANDONMENT OF CAMBODIA TO THE COMMUNIST, THIS SHAMEFUL DEBACLE
LIKE THIS : UNPLANNED ESCAPE FOR THE US AMBASSADOR, MR JOHN GUNTHER DEAN.
HE
HAD TO ESCAPE FROM THE ROOF TOP OF THE US EMBASSY BUILDING FROM PHNOM PENH IN
1975 LIKE A THIEF.
THOSE US FOREIGN POLICY MAKERS OF THOSE DAYS , ARE
SHOWN AROUND PRESIDENT OBAMA TODAY.
IT PRODUCES THE SAME CRIMINAL RESULTS ET
VOILA WE HAVE AN ATMOSTPHER OF GENERAL MALAISE THAT HANGS ACROSS AMERICAN SKY
AT THIS HOURS:
ANGER, DEPRESSION , FRUSTRATION,BETRAYAL , PLAGUE ACROSS
AMERICA , UNDER THE US SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY &
AMERICAN
GOVT .
WHY ?
BECAUSE THEY ARE DISMANTLING AMERICA SINCE THE DAY OF
PRESIDENT WILSON -OBAMA .
IT'S SO SAD.
THE RESULTS ?
REMEMBER THE SETTLEMENT OF VIETNAM IN
1970'S ?
THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER DR HENRY KISSING LEGACY , WITH HIS
SECRET NOGOTIATION WITH THE NORTH VIETNAM,
1 BY ABANDONING THE SOUTH
VIETNAM , THE US ALLIED?
2 BY ABANDONMENT CAMBODIA TO THE COMMUNISTS
AND THAT HAD LED THE US AMBASSADOR JOHN GUNTHER DEAN ESCAPED FROM THE ROOF TOP
OF THE US EMBASSY BUILDING IN CAMBODIA , LIKE A THIEF IN 1975 , FROM PHNOM

President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of
the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988.
"Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose
freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and
independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of
all Vietnamese troops ...."
As of today,Cambodia is still
occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the call from the US president to
Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since 1988.
Cambodia needs Independence from
Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders.
Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at
once.
