“’Horror scene’ as 4 Lakewood police officers shot, killed”
By KOMO Staff

SNIPPET: “LAKEWOOD, Wash. - Four uniformed police officers were shot and killed in a bloody Sunday morning ambush at a Lakewood-area coffee shop, officials said.

Pierce County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ed Troyer called the ambush “a targeted attack” on the four Lakewood police officers as they were preparing to start their shifts at about 8:15 a.m.”

SNIPPET: “Three male officers and one female officer all died at the scene.

State Attorney General Rob McKenna termed the shootings an “assassination.”

About 2 1/2 hours after the deadly ambush, officers identified a white Chevy pickup truck abandoned at 134th Street and Pacific Avenue South that is believed to be the one that the suspect fled in.”

SNIPPET: “A $10,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect or any possible accomplices, Troyer said. An emergency tip line has been set up, at 866-977-2362, for callers to report any helpful information.

The suspect was described as a black male in his mid-20s to mid-30s, standing 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-10, medium build, with scruffy facial hair, wearing blue jeans and a black coat with a hood.”

The shooter was apparently a passing motorist, who pulled up next to them and opened fire.

expect many non-associated arrests and detentions after this. They will be searching the area ID possible suspects. In that area, I’d bet 10% of the population have warrants from other crimes.
