The King County prosecutor's office says a $1 million bail has been set for the woman accused of shooting a man inside a parks department building in Seattle Friday.
Carolyn Piksa waived her right to a court appearance Saturday. The judge found probable cause to first-degree assault and set the bail.
The 46-year-old Piksa is accused of shooting co-worker Bill Keller in the chest at a Parks and Recreation Department building, then driving to another city facility to confront a co-worker with a handgun.
Court documents say the co-worker was able to get away and Piksa left. Meanwhile, a wounded Keller called 911 for help.
The shooting sparked a citywide search. It ended at Piksa's home, where she was arrested.
Piksa is due back in court on Wednesday.
