Four Lakewood Police Officers murdered on Sunday may have been the target of gangs on the east side of Tacoma. Previous attacks on officers have been reported.
On Sunday, Nov. 29, four Lakewood officers were gunned down in a coffee shop ambush before the start of their shift in Parkland. There are no suspects in custody.
The police have recently started a crack down on Mexican gangs in the state. In July 2009, after the gang crackdown was announced.
On July 30, 2009 a Lakewood police officer's personal car was spray painted with gang tags and set on fire, according to the News Tribune.
The car was parked at the officer's house and was painted with gang tags, then set on fire about 10:45 p.m. Gang tags were also spray painted on the officer's driveway. The officer was in his home at the time, but no injuries were reported by Lakewood Police. His police car was parked next to his personal car and suffered minor heat damage.
The officer had spray painted over gang graffiti in his neighborhood, according to Lakewood Assistant Police Chief Mike Zaro. He did not rule out that it could have been a random act of vandalism after someone spotted a police car parked in the driveway.
Mexican gangs are causing havoc in the Tacoma-Yakima area of Washington with methamphetamine being the drug of choice for the gang. They are moving into Native American territories where a police presence is scant.
Prayers that all in the area of this crime will stay safe and that the perp / thug / killer will be found very very soon.
Not to worry, we will be loaded tonight.
You stay safe too!
Thanks.
It looks like Gangs were not involved in this shooting. But a very very bad guy who should of been locked up for good back in Arkansas.
Maurice Clemmons, man wanted for questioning, has long criminal history
