"Woman had intense color phobia before fatal shootings: Police say Saroeun Phan, 60, opened fire inside a West Seattle home on September 23, 2010 and fired at least 20 rounds, wounding her daughter and killing her son-in-law and two granddaughters before turning the gun on herself. On Saturday a family friend said Phan's illness took a turn about a year and a half ago, as she developed an intense phobia about colors and became more distant from her family. "She don't want any color. She don't want to see any color," Sean Phuong says. She was dressed all in white as she calmly the trigger. Sean Phuong says in the past few months Saroeun Phan would not talk to anyone who was dressed in dark clothing. "No blue, no black. No anything. Only white. Then you can talk to her," he says. "But a friend or granddaughter, grandson, want to talk to her - you wear black like this, she don't want to talk. She don't want to see it."
