The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed early Tuesday by a lone Seattle patrol officer investigating a stolen car, officials said. Four other people were arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during a massive two-day manhunt.
A Seattle police officer was on patrol in a working-class neighborhood in south Seattle when he saw a car with the hood up and the engine running, Seattle Assistant Chief Jim Pugel said. The officer ran the license plate and determined the car had been stolen.
As the officer sat in his patrol car doing paperwork on the stolen car, he noticed a man approaching the patrol car from behind. He recognized the man as the shooting suspect, Maurice Clemmons, and ordered him to show his hands and stop, Pugel said.
"He wouldn't stop," Pugel said. "The officer fired several rounds, took the person into custody."
Clemmons died at the scene. He was armed with a handgun taken from one of the officers he is accused of killing Sunday morning in Parkland, Wash. about 35 miles south of Seattle, Pugel said. He also already had a gunshot wound apparently suffered during a struggle with one of the victims.
'Partners in crime'
Police planned to arrest more people who helped Clemmons.
