“Murder charge filed in Seattle officer’s shooting”

SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF
SNIPPET: “Accusing the alleged cop killer of waging a “one-man war against police,” King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced charges that could see Christopher J. Monfort executed.
Monfort, 41, has been charged with aggravated first-degree murder in the Oct. 31 slaying of Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton, Satterberg announced Thursday. Prosecutors also charged Monfort with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of arson, asserting that the man rigged several bombs at a City of Seattle garage hoping to kill officers and firefighters.
Like Monfort’s other intended victims, Brenton and partner Officer Britt Sweeney were “targeted solely because of the badge they wore,” Satterberg claimed.
“He had a plan to wage a personal war against the Seattle Police Department,” the elected prosecutor said.
Described as a “domestic terrorist” by police, Monfort is accused of ambushing Brenton and Sweeney as they sat in a patrol car in Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood. Sweeney, who suffered a grazing wound in the shooting, told investigators Monfort pulled up next to the patrol car in a light-colored coupe and opened fire; Brenton was struck by multiple rounds and died at the scene.”

SNIPPET: “SEATTLE -
SNIPPET: “New court documents show that officers found an arsenal of weapons stockpiled in Monfort’s Tukwila apartment with ammunition and the ingredients to make pipe bombs. Investigators also found a gas mask and a police and fire scanner which could be used to monitor officer activity.
Monfort is charged with the execution style murder of officer Timothy Brenton on Halloween night. Police say the gunman’s Datsun 210 had one missing headlight and a bullet hole in the back.”
SNIPPET: “The documents show authorities matched a computer printer and paper at Monfort’s apartment to threatening notes left at the scene of the arson. They also found a large American flag on Monfort’s bed which investigators say matches a flag left at the arson scene.”
