Details were sketchy Sunday evening, but the sheriff’s office received a call about a suspicious person at the store in Port Orchard, Wilson said. The man ran and started shooting when three deputies tried to talk to him, he said.

The deputies, including the two men who were wounded, returned fire, Wilson said.

Witness Ray Bourge told KOMO-TV that he saw a man running through the parking lot toward nearby woods, firing his gun back toward the store.
“Right behind him there was an officer chasing him, and he began to open fire,” Bourge said.

One more thing to shake my head over and wonder what the hell is going on in our society. Too many cops being shot here in the Pacific Northwest.

Come on...you know he’s writing that it was a Right-Wing fanatic upset about the new Healthy Eating coalition.

This has nothing with what actually transpired but is instead an indictment of Right Wing Hate Speech by Rush, Beck, Hannity and, of course, the direct instigator Mrs. Palin.

Geez. I hope that the young woman who was killed wasn’t just a citizen in the way.

Well,whose fault is this one?--Palin, Bush, or the NRA?

If this sort of thing is becoming prevalent in the NW, could be just the economy, the victim mindset of certain groups, or the gun control efforts emboldening the perps.

Why should he? He's got you idiots right here, doing all the heavy lifting for him.

A woman is dead, two cops are shot, and all you can do is natter on about your media snits.

It was at 3:45pm PDT, which is about 5 hours ago. The police mouthpiece is saying the situation is "fluid", which sounds like someone offed the teenage girl by accident.

If she was connected to the deceased guy, they'd have out with it by now. If the deceased guy shot her, they'd have out with it by now.

Not looking good for the home team.

Hope all survivors are swiftly back in great form.
Have Libs held any protests at "TARGET" stores?

Say what? What makes you think I would blame any of them?

Have you considered that this is in large part what happens when you pretend you have “Community Treatment” for the seriously mentally ill? We have far too many nutjobs living in the community who rightly ought to be locked up in a rubber room at the very least. The Federal prison in “Escape From New York” is a fantasy, but that’s where a lot of people belong, and the whole concept is worth considering.

How about all those drugs people rationalize that affect the babies they breed?? Too many young women are putting unknown poisons in their systems long before they find out they are pregnant, and we are really just finding out the long term effects.

Do we really understand what the neonatal affect of methamphetamine is?? We know alcohol exposure in the womb has all kinds of consequences.

Do we really understand exactly what goes into making “methamphetamine”?? Since a large portion of meth these days is produced by home cookers using God knows what, there is no telling what chemicals could be affecting lots of children before they are even born.

And that’s just meth....

There are no winners, like there are no simple solutions.

One of their competitors is a store named Target.

Sounds like she knew the dead guy, and ran towards him.

Th cops are probably trying to figure out a cover story for the dead girl.

Sorry I forgot the sarcasm alert. I WAS NOT blaming you. I was just making the point someone, the media, libs, etc., will try to blame a conservative, 2d amendment believer.

Then I offered three scenarios that were possible reasons. There are, of course, multiple cultural medical, societal reasons.

Nothing personal, I assure you!.
