Former Coupeville High School soccer player Tim Quinn was shot and killed Sunday during a dispute at his home in Poulsbo.

His older brother, Riley, is being held on suspicion of second-degree murder, with bail being set at $500,000 during a Mar. 24 appearance at the Kitsap County Superior Court.

The identities of both brothers were reported late Wednesday afternoon by The Kitsap Sun newspaper.

As reported by Seattle TV station King 5, court documents state “the suspect called 911 on Sunday night and told dispatchers he had killed his 30-year-old brother.

“During the call, he said his brother had pinned him down, choked him and tried to kill him.”

“Investigators reported the suspect did not have obvious signs of injury to his neck, face or hands, though they noted scratches and bruising on other parts of his body.

“Authorities believe the suspect fired five shots, striking his brother in the right leg, right arm, chest, left side of his head and back.

“Investigators said shell casings indicate the shots were fired from multiple locations in the home, and they noted the gunshot wound to the head did not appear to have been fired at close range.

“Court records also show the Kitsap County Medical Examiner determined one of the gunshot wounds was inflicted after the victim had already died.”

Riley Quinn, who has no prior criminal history, graduated from CHS in 2010, while Tim Quinn graduated in 2013.

Take your shot, help food bank

Posted in Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on April 5, 2019| Leave a Comment »

Local shooters can help support Coupeville’s Gifts from the Heart Food Bank.

Hit the target and help others.

The Central Whidbey Sportsmen’s Association Charity Benefit Match, which is open to the public, goes down from 9 AM-1 PM Saturday, April 20.

All proceeds from the shooting match, which features six different events, will go to Coupeville’s Gifts from the Heart Food Bank.

Participants are also encouraged to bring dry and canned food donations, which will help a food bank currently in its 17th year of operation in Central Whidbey.

And, while you’re helping feed others, if you’re a crack shot you can also walk away with a gift for yourself.

The top finishers in each event will claim an Easter ham at the awards presentation, with a limit of one ham per shooter.

Cost to enter is $1.50 per event, or you can shoot in four events after coughing up a crisp fiver.

Shooters 15 and under will compete in the junior class, while everyone else vies in the adult class.

All pistol and revolver shooting is offhand, one or two hands, with open sights for pistols and 22 rifle.

The six events:

Briquettes from 10 yards — Six briquettes, break the most without hitting the cardboard tube. Any pistol/revolver using iron sights, 22lr only.

Poker hand from 15 yards — Five shots, best hand wins. Any pistol/revolver using iron sights, 22lr only.

Shotgun pig shoot from 25 yards — Two shots, most pellets in the white center wins. Bring your shotgun and ammo.

Dart shoot from 10 yards — Six shots, highest score wins. Any pistol/revolver using iron sights, 22lr only.

Rifle shoot from 50 yards — Six shots at bulls-eye target, 22 rim-fire rifle, iron sights. Club rifles only; adults off hand and juniors bench rest

Trap shoot — Best of 10; bring your shotgun and shells.

Shooters are encouraged to bring their own pistols/revolvers (no Magnums or hot load), shotguns and ammunition, but there will be pistols, rifles, and ammo provided by the club for those in need.

The Sportsmen’s Association is located at 397 West Safari Street, which is just south of Coupeville near the corner of Highway 20 and Morris Rd.

There will be signs posted on the day of the event.
