Police Officer Dan Rocha was shot and killed while investigating a suspicious person at 1010 N Broadway Avenue at about 2:15 pm.
Citizens had called police to report the man's suspicious behavior. Officer Rocha made contact with the man and a struggle ensued during which the man shot him in the head, killing him. The subject then ran over Officer Rocha's body as he fled in a car.
Other officers pursued the man for approximately two miles. He was taken into custody after crashing into several other vehicles at the intersection of 35th Street and Rucker Avenue.
Officer Rocha had served as a police officer with the Everett Police Department for four years and had previously served as a parking enforcement officer. Officer Rocha is survived by his wife and two sons.
This officer was murdered while a funeral for another murdered officer, Dom Calata from Pierce Co., was taking place.
Far better than Seattle in any case.
I have heard only good things about that department.
Some homeless, some druggies but not awash.
So, some animals are more equal than others? Pure bullspit.
Just damn.
Prayers.
