SEATTLE (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder is announcing a renewed effort to solve the 2001 slaying of Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Wales in Seattle.

At a news conference Wednesday afternoon with local federal prosecutors, the FBI and two of Wales’ children, Holder is asking the public for any information about the shooting.

Wales was shot through a window as he was sitting at the computer at his home in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. The Justice Department is offering a $1 million reward for information that convicts the shooter.
