[Spokesman] Friday was supposed to be Aaron "Jay" Danielson’s 40th birthday.
Instead, his father and stepmother were sitting on their back deck in rural Spokane County, recalling his life and the circumstances that led to his death six days before, on a downtown Portland street corner, from a gunshot to his chest.
The instant in which Danielson’s life was taken has been the subject of countless news articles, fodder in the heated presidential campaign, and a significant flashpoint in the political divisiveness and unrest roiling much of the country. |
