A Seattle police officer was shot to death and another officer was wounded late Saturday night while conducting a traffic stop in the city's Central District neighborhood.
The officer who died was a veteran of the department, and the woman who was wounded is a student officer in training, Assistant Chief Jim Pugel said

The shooter was apparently a passing motorist, who pulled up next to them and opened fire.
Since Seattle coddles criminals and scrutinizes every action of the police, is it any wonder that people are not afraid to deliberately kill police officers?
This is the result of liberalism.
Tough cities with tough police departments do not have these problems.

Good timeline and more info at above URL.
Developing - Shooting at 20th 29th & Yesler - involving a gray Toyota last seen westbound on Yesler.
Shots possibly fired into a vehicle
10:15pm - Guardian 1 responding (king county helicopter)
Preliminary indication that a female officer has been shot.
Shellcasings found in the roadway
“Officer down at 29th & Yesler”
The scanner traffic of the incident is awful, absolutely heartbreaking
29th & Spring - Bullet holes found in a residence (blocks
away from original scene, unclear what the tie is
apparently from shots fired by officer)
Updated suspect vehicle description is a gray or white
Toyota Hatchback
Sounds like some sort of gang initiation. But if gangs are now initiating by killing cops, thats a serious turn of events.
“Sounds like some sort of gang initiation. But if gangs are now initiating by killing cops, thats a serious turn of events.”
Now we’ll see who the toughest gang is. I’m betting on the Cops.
11:34PM - Other sources -
Seattlecrime.com is reporting police were on alert as a
man who was let out of jail earlier tonight had made
threats against officers.
Does Seattle have a large Muslim population?
Maybe a revenge killing for that raghead that got dusted in another state.
This is a serious turn, if it is true. No, I,m afraid if the gang bangers start killing cops randomly, it will make any kind of law enforcement almost impossible in some areas. It already is impossible in some places. The police can hardly shoot everyone who approaches them. A gangbanger with just a knife could easily kill an officer, if the officer didn’t know it was coming.
Hopefully, as bad as this is, maybe it’s not an initiation ceremony.
And they say there is no death penalty.
There is death every day on the streets of this nation. But, those who chose death for others are protected from it.
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP.
Latest news release.
The version of the story I'm hearing this morning is that the pair of cops had earlier been doing a traffic stop, but it concluded and they pulled off to the side of the road at about 29th & Yesler Way to discuss some training items. The trainee cop was in the passenger seat as a car passed them, and she apparently saw a weapon at the last second and yelled to "duck" just as shots were fired. The weapon is described as a rifle. Perhaps about ten rounds were fired. The veteran cop was in the driver's seat and was struck, killing him. The trainee cop was struck with a grazing wound, but was able to return fire as the car sped off.
Ah... that story has them reversed in seating from what I heard. The trainee in the drivers seat and the veteran cop in the passenger’s seat. Your story being a release from the department is probably more accurate.
Not at 29th and Yesler. Thats way out in Madrona. Not sure
what sort of neighborhood that is but its a good hike from
Pioneer quare.
Somalis live in Rainier Beach and Seatac.
The officers may have been interfering with the rampant
drug dealing that goes on openly downtown. In Pioneer Square they aren’t even coy about it.
The followers of the imam shot last week, the Ummah, vowed revenge.
There was an advisory sent out by the Feds, IIRC.
Drug dealers and gangbangers don’t usually do hits on cops.
Just damn.
Here’s another story, quoting a Sunday news conference.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010186628_webcopshot02m.html
We’re back to the unit facing south at the right curb, trainee in driver’s seat. Occupants of vehicle that approached from the north opened fire, apparently with a rifle, then backed up and made a U turn and fled back the way they came. So that probably puts the shooter in the right seat of the suspect vehicle. That driving pattern, to me, suggests some degree of experience on the part of the killers.
Thank you Swarthy guy for the ping.
You OK?

The vehicle is described as acting strangely on the video. Police are keeping the exact description close the vest at this time. Previously they had said they believed the car was a light colored small import like a Toyota.
In addition they do believe the vehicle was struck by at least one of Officer Sweeney’s rounds and should have some damage.
Additionally they have stated that they found a backpack in downtown Seattle that had officer’s names and when they went and on and off shift. This could be a big break as it may yield DNA of a potential suspect(s).”

“Fallen officer Timothy Brenton remembered as hero, teacher”
Story Updated: Nov 6, 2009 at 1:29 PM PST
By KOMO Staff
SNIPPPET: “SEATTLE - Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton was remembered as a hero and a teacher at a solemn funeral attended by thousands Friday at Seattle’s Key Arena.
The funeral began with remarks by Deputy Chief Clark Kimerer and a moment of silence in the somber arena for the fallen officer who was killed by a gunman who still is at large.
“In our memorial today we seek to give back to Tim some measure of the devotion, humanity and selflessness that he gave to each of us,” Kimerer said. “The ceremonies of honor we undertake today represent our human desire to find meaning in unfathomable tragedy.”
He remembered Brenton as a teacher, a hero, and a “man of quiet dignity and virtue ... an upright courageous man, a good father, son, husband, brother and friend.”
The ceremony for Brenton followed a long memorial procession Friday morning of more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and firefighters from throughout the region.
Brenton’s family arrived under police escort just before 9 a.m. and, as the sun broke through the clouds, the procession began its path through the city on the way to KeyArena.”

By KOMO Staff and News Sources
SNIPPET: “SEATTLE - The suspect in the shooting death of a Seattle police officer was “a lone domestic terrorist” whose apartment was a virtual arsenal of bomb-making materials and weaponry, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said Saturday.
There also is evidence that the suspect, Christopher M. Monfort, 41, of Tukwila may have been planning to escalate his activities in the coming days if he had not been caught, Pugel said.”
SNIPPET: “Investigators who later searched his apartment found weapons, a huge stash of ammunition, bomb-making materials and newspaper clippings about an Oct. 22 arson that officers believe he was involved in.
Among the weapons were two long rifles, including a military-style assault rifle, Pugel said at a Saturday afternoon news conference about the case.
Components for improvised explosive devices were also found.”
SNIPPET: “Those blasts may have been experiments by Monfort and may indicate that he planned a larger-scale terrorist action, Pugel said.”
SNIPPET: “Pugel said Monfort was formerly employed as a security guard, but lost the job at some point. Detectives now are checking to see if he ever applied for a job as a police officer.
Police still have not looked at Monfort’s two cars - a Ford Crown Victoria similar to a police cruiser and another vehicle, covered by a tarp, which may be the Datsun 210 used in Officer Brenton’s shooting.”

“Suspect in police shooting ‘lone domestic terrorist’
Bomb making materials found in man’s apartment”
By CASEY MCNERTHNEY and CHRIS GRYGIEL
SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF
SNIPPET: “The man who is a suspect in the Halloween night slaying of a Seattle police officer is a “domestic terrorist” who had explosive devices in his apartment, police officials said Saturday.
Christopher J. Monfort is believed to have worked alone in the fatal shooting of Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton, as well as the Oct. 22 firebombing of four Seattle police vehicles, said Jim Pugel, Seattle Police assistant chief.
“This man, from everything that we can tell, appears to be a lone domestic terrorist,” Pugel said at a news conference.”
SNIPPET: “At one point Monfort wanted to be a policeman, according to people who knew him. He studied law enforcement issues at a local community college and the University of Washington. A former advisor said he was a “natural leader,” but a neighbor called him “weird.””

“Christopher Monfort, Suspect in the Murder of Officer Tim Brenton, Wanted to be a Cop”
By Caleb Hannan in Crime & PunishmentSaturday, Nov. 7 2009 @ 2:38PM
SNIPPET: “Rosemary Stevens rented a room to Monfort 18 years ago in Pasadena. The actress tells the P-I that while he was working as a waiter in a steakhouse, Monfort’s dream was to wear a badge for the L.A.P.D.”
SNIPPET: “While in the UW scholarship program, Monfort focused on the work of Paul Butler, a law professor at George Washington University. Butler is a proponent of a controversial tactic known as jury nullification, whereby a jury can ignore a judge’s instructions and acquit defendants, especially black defendants convicted of a non-violent crime, no matter how strong the case against them.
“It is the moral responsibility of black jurors to emancipate some guilty black outlaws,” Butler wrote in a 1995 Yale Law Journal article, adding: “My goal is the subversion of American criminal justice, at least as it now exists.”
As the Times reports, Monfort, who is half-black, wrote in his project abstract that he wished to “illimunate and further” Butler’s scholarship.
Wegner is the last person quoted to have spoken at length with Monfort. He says they touched base five or six months ago. Monfort was “driving truck” and volunteering his Friday’s at a juvenile detention center.”
SNIPPET: “Attempts to reach Monfort’s mother Suzan have thus far been unsuccessful. But the Times did speak with Vicki Malone, her business partner in a Curves in Bethel, Alaska, who said that Suzan was on her way to Seattle to check on the condition of her only child.”

SPD statement regarding Brenton murder investigation
On the afternoon of November 6th , 2009, Seattle Police Homicide detectives received a tip about a Datsun 210 matching the description of a possible suspect vehicle used in the slaying of Officer Tim Brenton. Detectives responded to a parking lot in the 13700 block of 56th Avenue South in Tukwila. While detectives were investigating the scene further an adult male suspect emerged and pointed a gun at them. Detectives fired on the suspect in self defense, striking him at least once. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. No detectives were injured.
The Tukwila Police Department is handling the crime scene investigation and the King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is conducting the officer-involved shooting investigation.
SPD detectives obtained search warrants to further examine the crime scene. Evidence located inside the suspect’s apartment included improvised explosive devices (IEDs), a rifle, and various other items of evidence. Detectives now believe that this individual is responsible for both the murder of Officer Brenton, the attempted murder of Officer Sweeney, and the arson attack on October 22nd at the Charles Street facility. Detectives are asking the Prosecutor’s Office for formal charges. The Datsun that detectives were looking for is registered to the suspect. Our investigation into the murder of Officer Tim Brenton and attempted murder of Officer Britt Sweeney continues and we are still receiving and following up on tips. We have received numerous tips from the public and we encourage everyone to continue to call us with any information they may have regarding this investigation.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call either 911 , or the tipline at (206) 233-5000. Those wishing to remain annonymous are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or send a text to CRIMES (274637).

“Murder suspect “a little obnoxious” in October stop” By Scott
SNIPPET: “On Friday SeattleCrime.com found that the suspect in Officer Brenton’s murder had no criminal history, but was ticketed in Seattle on October 15th for lack of insurance. It raised a big question of whether that stop could give any clues into the motive behind his deadly rampage.
Yesterday Seattle police released the full video from that stop, depicting all of the interaction between the two George sector officers and the suspect, just six blocks east of the spot where he would open fire on Officers Brenton and Sweeney just two weeks later.
The stop occurred just before 6pm on Thursday, October 15th, when two 2nd-watch officers saw the suspect fail to signal a turn on Jackson Street and driving in an odd way as if he was lost. Note that this was in his green Crown Victoria, possibly an old police cruiser, and not the suspect vehicle from the murder. They followed him down Lake Dell Drive towards the lake, and pulled him over once there was a spot on that narrow road.
The suspect was uncooperative and “a little obnoxious” to officers, refusing to give his phone number and giving backtalk to one officer when she asked him if he needed directions. But other than demonstrating he possibly had an issue with authority, there was nothing to indicate what he was allegedly planning for the coming weeks.
A condensed version of the video is included above (all sections without audio removed), and here is a transcript of the interaction:”

“NO WAR”
Chris Monfort has been seriously painting for two years, and plans to continue throughout his life. He does not believe in any particular set of rules as far as artistic expression is concerned, and his work portrays this freedom. He has a love for color and motion, particularly during long gloomy winters. His apartment is full of colorful paintings. He says, “they give me the energy that’s missing from our sunless winters!”
Monfort plans to complete two degrees before leaving Highline; a transfer degree and a degree in Administration of Justice. He then plans to earn a bachelors degree and possibly head for Harvard Law School. His alternate plan is to earn a Masters degree and teach at a college somewhere warm!
The November HCC Library Art Gallery Exhibit is entitled “No War”. Monfort feels that his art portrays this sentiment.

SNIPPET: “SEATTLE - KING 5 News has learned Monfort is now being investigated on child pornography charges. Investigators say they found massive amounts of child pornography on Monfort’s computer.”
KING 5 News also now knows the exact content of one of two notes left at the scene of the police car bombings on October 22. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe Monfort wrote the notes, assuming police officers would die when the cars exploded.”
SNIPPET: “Seattle Police say the DNA of the suspect in the Oct. 31 murder of Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton was found at both the murder scene and the scene of a firebombing of several police vehicles on Oct. 22.
Police say they are certain they have the car, a Datsun 210, and the gun, an assault rifle hobbled together from different parts, that their only suspect, Christopher Monfort, used to gun down Officer Tim Brenton.
“We’ve determined through the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab that the assault rifle found in the apartment is an identical ballistic match to bullet fragments taken from the scene October 31st that killed Officer Brenton and almost killed Officer Sweeney,” Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said at a Monday news conference.
At Monday’s press conference, police released photos of the car and a rifle.”

Police: DNA, bullets link suspect to officer death
By GENE JOHNSON (AP) – 1 day ago
SEATTLE —
SNIPPET: “Seattle Assistant Chief Jim Pugel said DNA belonging to 41-year-old Christopher Monfort was found on an American-flag-style bandanna on the ground where Officer Timothy Brenton was shot and killed and officer-trainee Britt Sweeney was wounded, and the .223 rifle used in the attack was found in Monfort’s apartment.
In addition, investigators found Monfort’s DNA on a small flag found at a city maintenance yard where four police vehicles were firebombed on Oct. 22, Pugel said.
That attack is now being described as an attempted assassination: A fire in a mobile command post was set first, apparently to attract officers, and after they arrived, the cruisers exploded. Two officers who responded almost parked next to the cruisers that exploded, but instead drove to a different part of the maintenance yard looking for the culprit.
“They would have been killed or seriously maimed,” Pugel said. “He meant to kill someone then.””

By
November 10, 2009
SNIPPET: “During a hearing at about 4 p.m. yesterday, King County Superior Court Judge Sharon Armstrong found probable cause to detain Monfort, identified by The Seattle Times as a UW alumnus, for the crimes of aggravated first-degree murder and attempted murder in the first degree.”
SNIPPET: “The suspect was chased to a stairwell, where he pointed the gun at detectives a second time, at which point the detectives shot him in self defense.”
SNIPPET: “Additionally, evidence from Monfort’s Datsun 210 indicates that the vehicle was shot by Sweeney, who returned fire during the incident.
The deadline for the prosecuting attorney’s office to file charges is Nov. 13, and a filing decision is expected to be made this Thursday. Monfort has not been booked into King County Jail due to his medical condition. Bail was not set because the incident could potentially be a capital case.”
