Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

Sept. 30: Injured shooting survivor Thyda Luellen Phan, center, is escorted to a gathering at Khemarak Pothiram Buddhist Temple in Seattle's South Park neighborhood Sept. 28. Her sister, Pary Sok, left, and cousin, Itaily Sun, right, joined family and friends to pray for Phan's mother and the three family members she shot and killed before turning the gun on herself. "I had already introduced myself to Phan when I made this picture. Still suffering from two bullet wounds after the shooting spree at her West Seattle home, Phan needed help into the temple. Her mother, 60, had been suffering from mental illness and the trauma of the infamous killing fields of her native Cambodia." - Ken Lambert
