SEATTLE -- The suspect in the fatal shooting of four officers in Parkland was not found inside a Seattle home that was surrounded by a SWAT team and numerous officers, Pierce Co. Sheriff Detective Ed Troyer said.
Maurice Clemmons, 37, was believed to be holed up in the home in the Leschi neighborhood after he was shot and wounded by one of the four slain officers before fleeing from the Parkland coffee shop where the officers were gunned down.

Police just had a call from a guy who says he is dieing, and he spoke of violence. Police responding.
And an update on that just came in, the address is the entrance to the VA hostpital. They are clearing the building.
Man, they have been chasing tips all day. One has to pan out.
From Twitter and KOMO:
“A SWAT team has surrounded a home in the 13000 block of Renton Avenue South, and a police source has confirmed the incident.”
I live in Renton. Going to have to google the address. I think that is near downtown not near me.
Hopefully the $125K reward will loosen a few tongues.
Have they looked in the white House?Too far away. Otherwise...
Twitter:
“Seattle police responding to a second location in Renton. “
Can you forward the twitter you’re watching?
Either that or drive to the location and give us a 1st hand report... :-)
Good post; I’m leaving for the evening so others can follow the updates.

thanks, and hope you have a Concealed Carry License and a 9mm.
Another false alarm; from Twitter:
“Clemmons wasn’t in the Renton area house. Pierce Co. sheriff’s spokesman to update soon”

I'm really glad my two uncles have retired from Seattle Metro, because it sounds like that's how this guy is getting around.
On my way to work this morning, I heard that Mike Huckabee commuted this animal’s 95-year prison sentence. Think it will hurt Huck? Just ask Mike Dukakis!
Other news coverage is saying 35 years. 95, 35, it’s a travesty either way!
I read 60 and 35 year sentences to be served consecutively, so the total is 95.
OK, I thought I heard Laura Ingraham say 95 years. Thanks for the info!
amen...
amen...
