News Cop Shooting Suspect May Be Dead

Posted by on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 4:24 AM

Seattle Times:

Maurice Clemmons, the man suspected of killing four Lakewood police officers Sunday in a Parkland coffee shop, was shot and perhaps seriously wounded by one of the officers before fleeing, Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said this morning. "He has suffered a gunshot wound," Troyer said at a media briefing held just before 3 a.m.

Troyer said police know that Clemmons was wounded because they have detained other people—Troyer wouldn't say how many—who helped Clemmons after the shootings.... Police don't know the severity of Clemmons' wound, and Troyer said he may already be dead.

9/11 deja vu. I wonder if we have learned anything about trampling civil rights?

It's great when your insomnia kicks in, Dan! Hope you can make time for a nap this afternoon.
