4 Police Officers Shot Dead in Washington State; Person of Interest Named
Investigators identified a man with an extensive criminal past as a “person of interest” in the ambush on four police officers, who were shot to death Sunday morning at a coffee shop.
Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer told reporters that Maurice Clemmons, 37, was one of several people investigators want to talk to and that he could not be called a suspect at this point.
The four officers were with the 100-member police department of Lakewood, which adjoins the unincorporated area of Parkland, where the shootings took place. The city identified the victims as Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39; Ronald Owens, 37; Tina Griswold, 40; and Greg Richards 42.
Troyer said one of those officers fought with the gunman and may have wounded him before the officer died just outside the doorway. He told reporters that investigators were asking area medical providers to report any people wounded by gunshots.
I know I’m not suppose to hope this bottom feeder is seriously wounded, but I am human, and I do not always control over my emotions.
My most sincere prayers are with the families, friends and fellow law enforcement.

POS was a multiple time felon swung free by The Huckster when he was governor of Arkansas. Nice.ANother Willie Horton moment for Huckabee, a real life Mr. Haney.
I disagree… You are more than welcome to wish this SOB is seriously wounded. Had he met the business end of a firearm earlier on, 4 police officers may very well be alive at this time. I say very given that he is only a “person of interest” and not officially a suspect yet.
What do you mean youre not supposed to hope hes wounded? Are you kidding? I hope he gets every kind of cancer there is, and gets just enough treatment to keep him alive in a state of misery for 10 years.
Hes a P.O.S., and deserves nothing less.
I have a feeling he will be brought in wearing a body bag. I hope the cops shoot his ass even if hes standing in a church unarmed waving a white flag.
People need to learn this crap will NOT be tolerated, and we all know hed probly get a plea bargain for life instead of death. So that means 50 years of us supporting his ass while he plays Uno all day and watches cartoons.
Also blaming former governors, who actually did alot for their state and cant see the future, does nothing. Id blame our whole justice system before blaming one man.
Ok here you go:
The following March, Clemmons committed two armed robberies and other crimes and was sentenced to 10 years. You’d think they’d keep him locked up after that, but no: He was paroled last March and is now wanted for aggravated robbery.
THATS where the blame needs to go. He got out, was given another chance at life and commited more acts of violence, gets locked up again, THEN THEY LET HIM OUT AGAIN.
Were they thinking hed be a good little boy this time? Who the hell made this decision??
It needs to be pointed out that as governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee had a track record of paroling violent felons that wound up committing more horrific crimes. Check out Wayne Dumond here.
I do agree that this is all too common under the system of criminal (in)justice, which has become a revolving door in far too many locations. But if we don’t hold the idiot politicians accountable, then we can we hold accountable? They created the system.
Well, sb, as a Christian, I’m suppose to forgive. Admittedly, I fail miserably on too many occasions. sigh…
Peter, I actually like Huckabee, watch his show a lot, but as for his presidential bid? Not gonna happen. He’s a good man, but we need a strong leader, and I just don’t see him in that role. Yeah, the system has failed the public, that’s for sure, and those morons who keep pushing for leniency should be held accountable. These are the same yahoos who actually believe there is no evil, just misunderstood criminals. Sheesh. In many cases, I’d like to see some Old Testament justice!
We need the guy from that famous Pace picante sauce commercial when they find out the stuff they were eating was made in New York City …. “Get a rope!”
I’m thinking lead may have done the trick.
