2 Sheriff's Officers Shot in Wash.; Suspect Killed - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said a sergeant and a deputy were shot at around 8:45 p.m. Monday while responding to a dispute between David E. Crable and his brother near Eatonville, a rural community in the Cascade foothills.
Crable, 35, shot the two officers before he was killed when they returned fire, Troyer said. The names of the officers were not immediately released.
The officers were greeted at the door by Crable's brother, while Crable was in the house arming himself, Troyer said. When the deputies entered the house, Crable opened fire from upstairs, hitting one of the officers multiple times.
I think that is 7 or 6 Police or Sheriff officers shot in Washington State in the last two months. I believe five have been killed.
