Sadly, we also had an officer killed just a month ago also. Seattle PD Officer Timothy Brenton was gunned down while on duty on Halloween.

The coffee shop is owned by a retired officer, and we have some local Mustang guys who do meets there satuday mornings.

RIP officers.

 

[STAMPEDE3]

RIP.

I hope they catch the guy.

 

[Silver2003Cobra]

oh that dude is ****ED.. (but unfortunately no worse than what those LEO's got) for some reason, I don't think he will live to see a court date, once they do catch him.. I know if I was a LEO, I'd not let him live to get a liberal jury and judge and get off with life in prison..

 

[SVT4ME]

I hope whoever did it gets caught and then raped in prison for the next 50 years

 

[James Snover]

Has Washington state become the next drug-war battleground or something?

RIP to the officers, their families will be in our prayers.

I was just gonna post up about this. My brother/best friend is a local LEO in the Seattle area here and for a couple years I worked at a local police dept as a security guard a few years back, and after what happened this morning, just a month after the SPD Timothy Brenton assasination I must say that I am getting a bit worried about copy cat shooters. This makes 5 local LEOs that have been gunned down in the last 4 weeks simply because they were in uniform and in the worng place at the wrong time. These brave people made the choice to become police officers to make our community a better place, and this is the thanks they get. This is one of the reasons that I HATE it when people complain about cops, getting tickets for laws that they actually broke etc, but when these citizens are in need of help they all of a sudden expect the LEOs to solve all their problems. I may be overreacting, and it may be because of my experience working with them and because of my brother, but I have so much respect for any and all police officers It just angers me more than anything that some dumb f@cks can do something like this simply because they themselves have made bad descisions in the past.:mj:

The dirt-bag that they are looking for in this mornings shootings was just released from jail on Wednesday this last week, and I just don't understand how someone who has been convicted of aggrivated robbery, child rape, parole violation, assault on a police officer etc, after recieving a 95 year sentence is even out of jail to begin with. We can thank Mike Huckabee for pardoning this dude because he was young when he recieved the 95 year sentence. I wonder how Mr. Huckabee feels about his decision now... Just watching the massive procession of police vehicles escorting the medical examiners vehicles this evening brought tears to my eyes. Sorry for the long winded reply but I just find this terrible, as today there are now 9 young kids without 3 dads and a mother that left for work this morning and will never come home. Here are some more local links to info about the story if anyone is interested.

RIP Brothers and Sister...

UPDATE:

Police: Suspect in police deaths hurt, maybe dead - Yahoo! News

It appears that maybe one of the victims possibly got a round off at the suspect and he now may be seriously hurt or deceased from it in a home hes hiding in, or maybe the scumbag off himself........

 

[SVT F15O]

If he is dead all I can hope is it was a very long and painful death. I personally hope he is alive in the house suffering, unable to move and in the most pain he has ever felt.
RIP Officers!!! You will be missed!

 

[CobraBob]

What a sad story. Worse because it happened at a time/season when we are usually more focused on family. Human kind at its absolute lowest!

 

[terrible one]

Really F'd up.
RIP to the LEOs

 

[MarshallJenkins]

yep, well, they killed that dude

 

[pho_phizzat]

glad they f-ed him up

Cop-slayings suspect shot dead by officer
Police: Ex-con ‘wouldn't stop’ when confronted; others held as accomplices

SEATTLE - The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed early Tuesday by a lone Seattle patrol officer investigating a stolen car, officials said. Four other people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt.

A Seattle police officer was on patrol in a working-class neighborhood in south Seattle when he saw a car with the hood up and the engine running, Seattle Assistant Chief Jim Pugel said. The officer ran the license plate and determined the car had been stolen.

As the officer sat in his patrol car doing paperwork on the stolen car, he noticed a man approaching the patrol car from behind. He recognized the man as the shooting suspect, Maurice Clemmons, and ordered him to show his hands and stop, Pugel said.

"He wouldn't stop," Pugel said. "The officer fired several rounds, took the person into custody."

Clemmons died at the scene. He was armed with a handgun taken from one of the officers he is accused of killing Sunday morning in Parkland, Wash. about 35 miles south of Seattle, Pugel said. He also already had a gunshot wound apparently suffered during a struggle with one of the victims.

'Partners in crime'
Police planned to arrest more people who helped Clemmons.

"We expect to have maybe six or seven people in custody by the day's end," said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the sheriff's department in Pierce County, where the officers were slain. "Some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are partners in crime, some are relatives. Now they're all partners in crime."

Three people were booked into the Pierce County Jail on Monday and early Tuesday for investigation of rendering criminal assistance on four counts of first-degree murder. They are Ricky Hinton, Eddie Lee Davis and Douglas Edward Davis. Troyer said a getaway driver also was arrested. That person's identity wasn't immediately known.

On Monday, officers also detained a sister of Clemmons who they think treated the suspect's gunshot wound.

"We believe she drove him up to Seattle and bandaged him up," Troyer said.

Authorities say Clemmons, 37, singled out the officers, all members of the Lakewood Police Department, as they sat in a coffee shop Sunday morning in Parkland, a Tacoma suburb. He fled after the shootings, but not before he was apparently shot in the torso by one of the dying officers.

Killed were Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and Officers Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Greg Richards, 42.

Troyer said that Clemmons told others the night before the shooting "that he was going to shoot police and watch the news."

A memorial to honor the slain officers will be held next Tuesday in the Tacoma Dome. More than 20,000 members of the law enforcement community, emergency response agencies and the public are expected to attend.

Police said they aren't sure what prompted Clemmons to shoot the officers. Clemmons was described as increasingly erratic in the past few months and had been arrested earlier this year on charges that he punched a sheriff's deputy in the face.

Troyer told the Tacoma News-Tribune that Clemmons indicated the night before the shooting "that he was going to shoot police and watch the news."

Police surrounded a house in a Seattle neighborhood late Sunday following a tip Clemmons had been dropped off there. After an all-night siege, a SWAT team entered the home but Clemmons was already gone.

$125,000 reward
Police frantically chased leads on Monday, searching multiple spots in the Seattle and Tacoma area and at one point cordoning off a park where people thought they saw Clemmons.

Authorities found a handgun carried by the killer, along with a pickup truck belonging to the suspect with blood stains inside. They posted a $125,000 reward for information leading to Clemmons' arrest and alerted hospitals to be on the lookout for a man seeking treatment for gunshot wounds.

Authorities in Washington and Arkansas were criticized amid revelations that Clemmons was allowed to walk the streets despite a teenage crime spree in Arkansas that landed him an 108-year prison sentence. He was released early after then-Gov. Mike Huckabee commuted his sentence.

Huckabee cited Clemmons' youth in granting the request. But Clemmons quickly reverted to his criminal past, violated his parole and was returned to prison. He was released again in 2004.

"This guy should have never been on the street," said Brian D. Wurts, president of the police union in Lakewood, Wash. "Our elected officials need to find out why these people are out."

Huckabee said on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Monday night that Clemmons was allowed back on the street because prosecutors failed to file paperwork in time.

Pulaski County Prosecutor Larry Jegley, whose office opposed Clemmons' parole in 2000 and 2004, said Huckabee's comments were "red herrings."

"My word to Mr. Huckabee is man up and own what you did," Jegley said.

Clemmons was charged in Washington state earlier this year with assaulting a police officer and raping a child, and investigators in the sex case said he was motivated by visions that he was Jesus Christ and that the world was on the verge of the apocalypse.

A psychological evaluation conducted in October found he was a risk to public safety, but not a bad enough risk to justify committing him, The News Tribune of Tacoma reported.

The confidential report acquired by the newspaper was ordered by a Pierce County Superior Court judge to determine whether Clemmons was competent to stand trial on the rape and assault charges. He was found competent and was released from jail after posting bail with the assistance of Jail Sucks Bail Bonds.

At the time of his arrest, he allegedly made "religiously-themed comments, told the officer President Obama and Lebron James are his brothers, Oprah (Winfrey) is his sister and referred to himself as 'the beast,"' according to the evaluation.
The Associated Press and msnbc.com staff contributed to this report.

That cop is lucky he spotted that guy coming up because he was probably about to take him out.

Happy to hear the Seattle police finished the job. Knowing our system that released him in the first place, he would've remained alive in a puzzle factory on the count of insanity. Hopefully those that helped him elude police won't see daylight ever again. Big thanks goes out to Mike Huckabee for letting this piece of shit walk in commuting a 108 year prison sentence.

+1, and I know that the dude that drove Clemmons to and from the scene is being charged with 3 counts of 1st degree murder. They also have 5 or 6 other people in custody that are being charged with a variety of things. Anyone that helped this guy stay on the loose and attempted to get him out of the state should be tried to the maximum possible IMO.

Also, they are expecting 20,000 to 30,000 law enforcment officers from around the country (and other countries too) to be at the memorial on Tuesday, along with a 1000+ car procession taking the families to the memorial. Around here there isn't going to much else going on as most attention will be with the families of the fallen heros.
