TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -- Four police officers were shot and killed Sunday
morning in what authorities called a targeted ambush at a coffee house
in Washington state, a sheriff's official said.
Officials at the scene told The News Tribune in Tacoma two gunmen
burst into the Forza Coffee Co. and shot the four uniformed officers
as they were working on their laptop computers, then fled the scene.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said investigators believe
the officers were targeted, and it was not a robbery.
Troyer tells the newspaper ''it was just a flat out ambush.''
He could not immediately say what agency the officers were from.
Police were searching for two suspect and interviewing witnesses. The
coffee shop is near McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma, about 35 miles
south of Seattle.
''We hopefully will have answers, but there is nothing more we can
tell you,'' Troyer told KING-TV. ''That's as cold-hearted as it is.''
Roads were blocked around the attack. A witness driving past told the
newspaper he saw an officer on the ground just after the shootings.
What Washington state needs in much stiffer gun laws, to ensure these
murderous criminials will not be able to repeat this crime again.
Wonder what these cops (or one of them) were into that got somebody that
****ed off? Folks don't take chances of a guaranteed 'lectric chair (or
LWP) for nothing. Either way, just for the record, I believe that should
be the punishment for anybody who kills a cop, firefighter or EMS while
they are on duty.. Especially if they are in uniform.
What about when they're not on duty? Then it's ok?

Wonder what The Freak thinks should happen to cops who shove long-haired
freaky people down stairs.
