Four Lakewood, PD in the Tacoma, WA area were ambushed while they were working on their laptops in a coffee shop before starting their day shift! (3) Males and (1) female Officers were killed. One African American male was the shooter who used a pistol. He's still at large.

It is my understanding that Lakewood, WA Officer Officer Mark Renninger who was one of the four Officers killed today, served with the 2nd Ranger BN, 75th Ranger Regiment from '86 — '95! RLTW!

Apparently, the Pierce County Sheriff's PIO is saying that a struggle took place in the coffee shop and that one of the officers, may have been able to return fire and may have hit the suspect! I sure hope this is accurate and the scumbag has to seek medical help!

Yeah! Cal that Video was taking the bodies from the crime scene to the Pierce County Morgue.

I suspect, that their will be a much larger convoy and representatives present from all over this Country, as well as Canada, for the Funeral/Burial of these Four Officers.

I would think, that they will have some sort of joint memorial service, perhaps at the Tacoma Dome or some large place that will hold the hundreds of LEO's and others that will attend. They most likely leave the actual individual burials to the families.

The scumbag has been shot and killed by a lone Seattle PD officer! They are also going after family members and others who assisted this killer! The get-away driver is also in custody!

I read that he had a life sentence commuted several years ago which is why he was out on parole. Absolutely unacceptable.

Yeah! Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.

Washington State didn't handle it good either! :thdn:

Now we find out he supposedly converted to the Muslim faith in prison in Arkansas. Some group calling themselves the 'Black Foot Soldiers.' are calling him a Muslim Martyr and the Police Officers that were killed Terrorists!
