A policeman investigating a stolen car on a Seattle street shot dead the man accused of gunning down four police officers at the weekend, US police say.

Maurice Clemmons, aged 37, was killed in Seattle early on Tuesday, said Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel.

He said the officer recognised Clemmons and told him to stop, before opening fire after the suspect tried to flee. Four people have been arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during the two-day manhunt.

Those who helped the killer better thank God he didn’t kill others while he was on the run.

I sure hope they are punished to the full extent of the law!

Thank you.

Nice work, you and the cop.

This time there will be no parole or commutation.

So he had at least 4 people helping him. That means its a rather large conspiracy. This story is just beginning.

[I Buried My Guns]

Your use of the word "conspiracy" is overly generous. Just ghetto-dwelling heathens helping their fellow ghetto-dwelling heathen.

Legally though, you are correct. They acted together to break the law, and should all be shot for their efforts.

This is serious, very serious. Just wait ‘til CAIR finds out he was a muslim. All hell will break aloose.

[traumer]

has the cop acted stupidly...?

[gitmogrunt]

Could this police shooting have been another islamic terrorist attack??

[manonCANAL]

Yes he converted to islam in ark. prison.

Interesting how the foreign media seems to cover many stories much better than does our media.

[FromLori]

What do you mean?

[FromLori]

Was he a muslim?

[Deo volente]

Someone on another site reported that Clemmons came up on the officer from behind. I have not yet been able to find a link to substantiate that detail.

Apparently he was found with a gun belonging to one of the slain officers.

I think it’s in reference to 0bambi’s remarks that the police acted stupidly in that incident over the summer.
