Not many details here, but it sounds significant. The Seattle PI reports that police have shot a person of interest in the Halloween killing of Office Timothy Brenton.


"Officers shot a man in Tukwila after being fired upon Friday afternoon while they served a search warrant, police said.

Seattle Police responded to Tukwila after receiving a tip that the man was connected to the fatal shooting Halloween Night of Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton, according to a police source familiar with the investigation. SWAT members were among those responding.

The warrant was being served in the 14300 block of 56th Avenue South, but it was not immediately clear what the warrant was for. Seattle police are taking over the scene investigation.

Some police belived the man shot had died at the scene, but that was not immediately confirmed.

The shooting occurred minutes after the memorial for Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton ended at KeyArena."

Justice !
My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Brenton's family. I am an Officer in MT and this is a tragic loss for our brotherhood.
I received a text message from my brother who lives north of Seattle today saying the murder suspect may have been shot today.
It is not confirmed if suspect died, but my first response is "Justice".
We Officers know had the suspect been arrested and run through criminal trial... justice would not have been served.
I am proud to be a law enforcement Officer... and even more proud of the great work done by WA state Officers ! Well Done !!!

I read the comments of a friend of suspect who said the Officers could have made a mistake.... it is no mistake the suspect ran from Officers then pulled a handgun.... Justice has been served !!!
