EVERETT  — Court documents say an Everett woman who was shot to death early Thursday was trying to protect her teenage son from an apparent armed drug robbery in their home.

The Daily Herald reported Friday that one teenager has been arrested for investigation of murder. At least three others were being sought for questioning.

The woman’s 17-year-old son was wounded.

Documents say he told detectives that a group of young men carrying weapons showed up at the mobile home park and demanded his “stash.”

The documents say Julie Knechtel, 54, came to her son’s aid and was attacked and fatally shot.
