Police shoot one suspect, arrest another in the death of Seattle officer
Nov 06 2009
Seattle police have shot one suspect and Federal Way police have arrested another in connection to the Oct. 31 homicide of Seattle police officer Tim Brenton.
As reported by KOMO 4, shortly following Brenton's memorial service this afternoon, officers responded to Tukwila to assist law enforcement with the arrest of a suspect. The man was contacted at an apartment complex in the 14300 block of 56th Avenue South after Seattle police received a public tip regarding the slaying. The man, believed to be in his late 30s, brandished a handgun and fled from police. He was shot as he ran from the scene.
Federal Way officers were en route to assist Seattle police. They apprehended a second suspect at a park-and-ride.
Tukwila police spokesman Mike Murphy said law enforcement is not seeking another suspect. The shot suspect was taken to Harborview Medical Center.
