Many of the firearms were purchased at High Mountain Hunting, a gun store in Wenatchee, Aguiguis father, Ed Aguigui, confirmed today when contacted by Hatewatch. We dont talk about any of our customers purchases, an employee at the gun store replied when asked about that today.
Ed Aguigui told Hatewatch that he had no clue as to the location of the land in Washington State that reportedly was purchased by his son and members of his militia group. I served my country for 20 years and I honor that, take pride in that, Ed Aguigui said when asked about his sons alleged antigovernment activities. I dont know what my sons views are, and where they came from.
The only thing I can say right now is this case is moving from the military to the state courts in Georgia, Ed Aguigui said. I dont think it would be right to say much more at this point.
The suspects grandmother, Gloria Aguigui, of East Wenatchee, Wash., said her large family is from Guam. Annette Aguigui, the suspects mother, homeschooled Isaac and his five brothers and sister while their father spent a career as a U.S. Army combat engineer. When they were little kids, they werent even allowed to have guns, Gloria Aguigui told Hatewatch. Isaac never got into trouble, and was always helping out. I have no idea what happened.
