Mental exam ordered after courthouse shooting

Posted: Updated:

MONTESANO, Wash. - A judge has ordered a mental evaluation for a man accused of shooting and stabbing a sheriff's deputy and stabbing a judge last month at the Grays Harbor County courthouse.

The judge ordered the exam at the request of Steven Kravetz's defense lawyer.

Prosecutors have charged Kravetz, 34, with attempted murder and assault.

Deputy Polly Davin returned to work last week. Superior Court Judge David Edwards suffered minor wounds and returned to work three days after the attack.
