What? This is outrageous. Still sketchy details. It’s hard to believe that non of the four got off any shots. Horrible. Just horrible.
What part of Washington state is this? near seattle?
any thoughts yet on motives or who?
gang related?
Washington state. Found it in the last sentence of the article. Might consider adding to the title. Just sayin’.
Where is Lakewood?
For those like me, who don’t always go to the link, Lakewood is in Washington State.
Wow. There was a cop execution just a little while ago in the Seattle area. WTF is going on up there?
PLEASE ,everyone,put the full location in your first post.I don’t see in what state this crime happened.
Hope the killers are dealt with ,and soon!
May the angels of Paradise receive them and bring them into God’s loving hands.
May HE also bless, comfort, strengthen and keep each and all of the families in His loving care.
May He guide all fellow officers into quickly apprehending these nasty and vicious perpetrators and may justice be quick. Amen.
Good God...
This is similar to an episode of ‘Criminal Minds’ that was aired a few days ago...It was a repeat, but in the episodethe perp was ambushing cops. abnd he didn’t stop after one time, but kept setting up ambushes and “blitz attacks” on the cops of the city in the episode.
The report says “shooter”, singular.
What was he armed with?
Prayers up for our fallen brothers and their families.
Oh, I am so sorry for their families.
This is a WAR. We need our people in Blue to be better protected and armed than the gangbangers society is scared of and has given up on. I wish we could shoot to kill sometimes, but we have to worry about lawsuits... Something is wrong. I don’t support police brutality, but it seems those who do not play by the rules, the bad guys, have an ace up their sleeve.

The officers were sitting in the coffee shop with their computers, the killer walked in and just shot them all.
Forza is a real nice coffee shop, this had to be a hit killing IMHO. I know a couple of Lakewood Officers, Prayers
