“’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.”
ROP M.O.?

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

SNIPPET: “PARKLAND, Wash. - Four Lakewood Police officers were shot and killed Sunday morning in what authorities called a targeted ambush at a coffee shop.
Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer says the officers - four male and one female - were in full uniform and wearing bulletproof vests, sitting in Forza coffee shop near 116th Street and Steele Street on the east side of the Air Force base at about 8:30 a.m.”
SNIPPET: “Troyer said there were several active scenes that officers were working. A white pick-up truck was impounded from a parking lot at one scene and a person was taken into custody at another.”
SNIPPET: “Troyer said the suspect is a black male, 5-foot-7 to 6 feet tall, 20s to 30s, scruffy appearance, wearing a black coat with a gray sweatshirt underneath, and blue jeans.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information. Tips can be called in to (253) 591-5959 or 866-977-2362.
Prayer vigil
A prayer vigil for the officers and their families will be held tonight at 6 p.m. at Tacoma Champions Centre at 1819 E. 72nd St. in Tacoma. Directions to the Tacoma Campus.”
Wow. More cop executions in Puget Sound. Seems too coincidental to the end of October execution???!!!
Of course, my prayers and condolences to the family and friends of these four brave and needed officers.
My first thought was how in the world did this happen? These people were highly trained professionals and knew how to react in different situations. Even now, after 42 years, when I do go to a restaurant, I am adamant about where I sit. Driving thru a city I constantly am looking around, checking my mirrors, never stopping close to the vehicle in front of me, always a way of escape.
I by no means am criticizing these brave Americans. But I do wonder.
Again, my prayers and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of these 4 American heroes.
