Police shoot person of interest in Seattle officer's murder

Police shoot person of interest in Seattle officer's murder

Medics wheel the wounded man to an ambulance as officers with weapons drawn provide cover.

By KOMO Staff

Watch the story
TUKWILA, Wash. -- Just after a memorial service for slain Seattle police Officer Tim Brenton concluded Friday afternoon, officers shot and arrested a man described as a person of interest in his killing.
Tukwila police spokesman Mike Murphy said investigators were following up leads on the murder at an apartment complex when the man flashed a handgun and was shot by three Seattle detectives.
"Seattle PD detectives were out here, following up on a person of interest in the Officer Brenton homicide, and this person of interest ran, and was shot as he ran from the scene," Murphy said. "They had to fire to protect themselves."
The man, who Murphy said is in his 30s, was loaded onto a stretcher and rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he was listed in critical condition and being rushed into surgery.
Police surrounded the apartment complex in the 14300 block of 56th Ave South to make sure no one else is inside, and say it's now clear for other residents to go back in.
Federal Way officers responding to the scene to help arrested another person wanted in the case at a nearby park-n-ride lot. No further details were available regarding that arrest.
Officials said a tip from the public led them to the apartment.
Asked if anyone else was being sought, Murphy said, "we feel that as far as suspects, we don't think there's anybody else that we're looking for."
Brenton was shot to death Saturday night as he sat in a parked patrol car in the city's Central District neighborhood, reviewing a traffic stop with rookie officer Britt Sweeney.
Sweeney was grazed by several bullets and returned fire.
Police on Thursday said a dash cam inside Brenton's patrol car snapped a photo of the car believed to be that of the gunman, and they released the picture publicly.
Video from AIR 4 over the scene of the shooting showed a car parked in the lot that appeared to match the general shape of the wanted vehicle, but a car cover concealed the top of the car.
"The car matches the general description, but it's too early to say we've got the car," Murphy said.

JerryD — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:41:35 GMT

A Florida man who claimed he was too fat to murder his former son-in-law was convicted on all counts today by jurors in Hackensack.

Edward Ates, 62, drove all the way up to Paul Duncsak's $1.1 million home in Ramsey in 2006, shot the 40-year-old pharmaceutical executive, then fled to Louisiana, prosecutors said. CONTINUED.....

Kerik admits it all

JerryD — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 19:29:41 GMT

Days before his corruption trial was to begin, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik this morning admitted that he lied to the White House and said he would also admit to tax crimes.

A plea bargain Kerik cut with the government now resolves three pending federal trials in all -- and could send the once highly regarded public servant to prison for more than two years. However, Judge Stephen Robinson warned him that he didn't have to follow the government's recommendation and could put Kerik behind bars for five years.

Kerik nonetheless told the judge in White Plains that he would waive his right to appeal. CONTINUED....

Kerik in his Franklin Lakes home

I took the photo for CLIFFVIEWPILOT.COM during one of several talks I had with Bernie. In none of them did he say he was guilty or not; instead, he blasted the prosecutors in the case. I wrote several stories and let them stand for themselves. This is one of them.........

More drug charges filed against ex-Philly officer

Postit11 — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 14:42:17 GMT

PHILADELPHIA -- More federal charges have been lodged against a former Philadelphia police officer already charged in a violent plot to steal $1.5 million in cocaine from a drug dealer.

Thirty-four-year-old Alhinde Weems was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to commit robbery, drug distribution and related charges.

Prosecutors say that from December 2008 to January 2009, Weems distributed crack cocaine twice and attempted to distribute a kilogram of cocaine.

Weems, an officer for five years, has been held without bail on drug and weapons counts since March.

At that time, authorities said that he planned to pose as a detective and enter a drug dealer's home, then rob him -- and shoot him if necessary. Weems' attorney had contended that his client was set up.

NYS TROOPER DOWN

nasa808 — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 02:56:01 GMT

CATSKILL, N.Y. (AP) - State police say a 30-year-old trooper from the Catskill barracks died in a collision while he was on patrol in the Hudson Valley.

Police say Trooper David Lane, a four-year veteran, was driving north in his patrol vehicle on state Route 32 in Catskill at 2:25 p.m. Wednesday when he attempted to pass another northbound vehicle. The vehicles made contact and Lane's vehicle went off the road and hit a utility pole.

Route 32 was shut down in both directions to allow for emergency response and investigation.

The Watertown Daily Times reports that Lane was the son of Cheryl and Stephen Lane of Dexter in northern New York, and that he served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Army's C Company, 307th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division.
