Four Washington police officers ambushed

“A scene out of a horror movie….”

LAKEWOOD, Wash. – Four police officers were shot and killed in a bloody Sunday morning ambush at a Lakewood-area coffee shop, officials said.

Pierce County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ed Troyer called the ambush “a targeted attack” on the four Lakewood police officers as they were preparing to start their shifts at about 8:30 a.m.

Officials at the scene said one or two gunmen burst into the Forza Coffee Co. outlet at 11401 Steele St. South, shot the four uniformed officers as they were working on their laptop computers, then fled the scene.

  1. I heard about that earlier.
    Sux.
    My sympathies for the families and friends of the slain officers.
    One has to wonder if the other police shooting in Seattle is connected, or if the proximity to the nearby Air Force Base has anything to do with the presence of armed and motivated murderers?

  2. Huckabee is going to get hammered over this.
