While that is accurate, I had to remember KCSO Deputy Steve Cox from almost three years ago. It was such a tragic and senseless story also. It was terrible news for an area of the city that has been trying to turn around for more than the ten years that I've lived in it but, at least everyone was able to take some comfort in knowing that the shooter didn't make it out of the house that night. Regardless, it was still a bad ending any way you looked at it. The thought of officer Brentons killers still walking free is just disgusting and makes this current story so much worse. http://www.odmp.org/officer/18613-de...f-steve-e.-cox Sorry for the threadjack. |

Also Steve Cox King County Sheriff Dept (White Center) 06. This incendent reminds me a lot of Tony's shooting that took place at the Swift Albro exit on I-5. There is still a memorial there at the exit on the left handside at the stop light if you look close enough. My prayers to all whom have give to protect our freedoms and too their families. |

Also one of the witnesses who lived in the apartment across the street described the first set of gun shots as "muffled" and then seven or so more that were loud. They are also looking into a connection between this and a bunch of cruisers that were torched recently in the downtown area while being worked on at a shop. Police say both incidences were executed with quite a bit of planning. (this could also be a police/media trick to get the person who did it to want to brag, or not you never know) Jus thought id update, it was in the paper yesterday and didnt look like anyone had mentioned this. |

| Streetfighter | The dude allegedly pulled a pistol. I'm kind of disappointed that the SPD detectives were such bad shots. |
