Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer says Maurice Clemmons was shot and killed early Tuesday in a Seattle neighborhood. Authorities suspected Clemmons of killing the four officers at a coffee shop Sunday morning in Lakewood, a suburb about 35 miles south of Seattle.
Troyer says Seattle police found Clemmons after Pierce County authorities supplied addresses of possible hiding spots.
Police have said they aren’t sure what prompted Clemmons to shoot the officers as they did paperwork on their laptops. Clemmons was described as increasingly erratic in the past few months.
Way to go that’s what the death penalty means. If you know who shot someone just bring him to the stationhouse and kill him
Very good they killed him cause they hadn’t killed him he would go free just wait & see what will happen to the Ft Hood shooter & the 9/11 terrorists in this country NOW with the POTUS we have your best option is kill these guys before theill be free
great ..he got what he deserved
This man was a career criminal. One of his latest crimes was raping a young girl, after being let out of jail, again! Our criminal justice system needs to be more about protecting society, and enforcing sentences of people like this murderer. Glad the tax dollars will go somewhere else rather than a trial for him.
that’s so sad stroy, there is a lot of answers still needed, something does not add up here,
So they shot this guy because he was a suspect? Whatever happened to his constitutional rights to a fair and speedy trial?
Nice job way to go cops
Good. One murderer less to worry about getting out from jail and repeat his killings.
At least they didn’t waste taxpayers money with a trial and life in prision.
How can they kill him if he’s only a suspect? What about a trial? Vigilanti cops.
Naturally, because it was police he killed.
too bad the FT Hood murderer wasn’t a policeman, they’d have made sure to get him too.
One of the dying officer returned fire and inflicted on this individual abdominal injuries and his fine family helped him with gauze . This action is called aiding and abetting a criminal.
Maurice Clemmons… and what was his Islamic name? Anybody want to bet that he converted to Islam in prison?
Two more have been arrested who hleped him escape in a car after hew shot the policemen. They are charged with aiding and abetting in a murder
May he rot in hell.
All murderers should go this way. Saves a lot of money and does the public a big service.
