Just south of Tacoma, right at McChord AFB, is a small city called Lakewood. Four Lakewood, WA police officers were shot dead in an ambush at a coffee shop as they were preparing for their shift. The suspect never pointed his weapon at anyone else in the shop. This was clearly an execution.
It's not known if it's gang related or not. Usually gangsters don't want to pick that kind of fight, but evil people do evil things so you can't absolutely rule it out.
Three male and one female officer were killed. The description of the killer is:
- Black Male
- 5'7" to 5'10"
- "Scruffy" looking (what ever that means)
- Wearing a black coat and gray hoody.
There is a $10,000 dollar reward up. I know that if I had any information that would net me all or part of that reward, I would donate it to a fund for the families of the slain officers.
Our prayers are with the families and their fellow officers. I hope they catch this guy and I want to see him arrested and get the death penalty. If he puts up a fight and experiences a bit of pain on his way out, that's OK too.
