NEAR EATONVILLE, Wash. -- Two Pierce County deputies were shot near Eatonville on Monday night.

Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said the two were critically wounded at approximately 8:48 p.m. One was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center and the other taken to Tacoma General Hospital, then diverted to Madigan Army Medical Center.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear; however, Troyer believed the two deputies were responding to a domestic violence call when they were shot.

Troyer had no information on the gunman. The investigation is ongoing.

The shootings come just weeks after four Lakewood police officers were shot to death at a coffee shop in Parkland, Wash.

Sgt. Mark Renninger, Officer Ronald Owens, Officer Tina Griswold and Officer Greg Richards were killed Nov. 29 by Maurice Clemmons as the four prepared for their morning shifts.

Clemmons was fatally shot by a Seattle police officer two days later.

On Oct. 31, Officer Timothy Brenton was shot to death in Seattle's Central District neighborhood while in his patrol car.

His partner, Britt Sweney, was wounded. Prosecutors have charged Christopher Monfort in the shootings.

On mine (Nuvi 200) changing the fastest/shortest setting never made a
difference when I tried it.

Wow! Makes a HUGE difference with mine (265WT)! Garmin isn't perfect,
I've had to do a total reboot and re-load in the last year, but it has
saved a lot of wasted time and effort.

Just about every week I get an e-mail from Costco offering the Garmin 265WT
on sale.
I was wondering if that model is a bit long in the tooth or still a good buy
at about $160.00 CDN.

That's the unit I picked up for the wife. Good set of features for a
reasonable price. The other unit I'd rather have is the 885T which
has voice command capability but it's nearly twice as much.

Consumer Reports has an excellent analysis of 50+ units on the market
and gives the 265 very good marks.
