Lakewood Police Shooting Leaves Four Officers Dead
November 29, 2009
Early Sunday morning four Lakewood Police officers were killed in a shooting. The search is still on going for suspect or suspects related to the murders.
Four officers (three males and one female) working for the Lakewood Police Department were drinking coffee at the Cafe Forza coffee house in Spanaway when a gunman entered the coffee shop and opened fire on the officers.
It is being reported that the Lakewood police officers were targeted in the shooting.
The four officers were at the Parkland Forza Coffee Shop at 8:15 A.M. when a man being described as a black male, 5’7″ to 5’10″, with a medium build, a scruffy face in his mid 20′s to mid 30′s, wearing blue jeans with a black coat entered the coffee shop and opened fire on the officers.
There is a tip line set up for anyone with any information about the shooting that can be called in at 1-866-977-2362.
No motive has been revealed, but The Lakewood Police Department as well as the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office are working hand-in-hand with many other off-duty officers as well as additional departments that are trying to get to the bottom of this case.
What an awful situation. Our hearts are with the families and friends of the officers.

I hope this sorry bastard is caught. Four Officers who are hired to protect the citizens of their community sit down to enjoy a cup a coffee are gunned down is a serious crime. I pray for their relatives and send my condolences to each of them for their losses.
