(MAR 15) On August 15, 2006, WBAN ran a story about a former photographer Dale Hausner, who provided coverage for WBAN with photographs of events that took place in Arizona. At this time in 2006, Hausner was arrested, along with a roommate, in Arizona, where he was facing allegations of murders (serial murderer), and a string of other crimes that terrorized his area in Arizona.

We have been periodically asked about what was happening with Hausner since his arrest. We received an update, where it was published by the Associated Press as to the status of his arrest.

Yesterday AP reported that Hausner was convicted of six murders, and 18 attempted first degree murder charges, two conspiracy to commit first-degree murder charges 16 aggravated assault charges, 23 drive-by shooting charges, nine animal cruelty charges, three counts of discharging a gun at a structure, one count of unlawfully discharging a gun and two counts of arson of an occupied structure. He was found guilty of 80 counts out of the 86 charges he was facing.
