Seattle police kill suspect in officer slayings


SEATTLE – The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by a lone patrolman investigating a stolen car early Tuesday. Four people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt.

Maurice Clemmons was carrying a handgun he took from one of the dead officers when a Seattle policeman recognized him near a stolen car in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood about 2:45 a.m., Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said.
The officer saw Clemmons and ordered him to show his hands and stop.

"He wouldn't stop," Pugel said. "The officer fired several rounds." (AP)

Our thoughts: He had what he had coming. You cannot kill someone without reprecusions. He received everything that he deserved. Rest in hell Maurice Clemmons! Although that's a harsh statement, right is right and wrong is wrong. CASE CLOSED!
