U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Suspect identified in Seattle police killing November 08, 2009 3:09 AM SEATTLE Police are calling a man accused of shooting and killing a police officer on Halloween night a "lone domestic terrorist" and say he is also suspected of firebombing police cruisers and other property. At a news conference, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel identified 41-year-old Christopher Monfort as the man shot by police as he was sought in connection with the killing. The suspect is in serious condition after several hours of surgery. Officer Timothy Brenton was killed as he sat in his patrol car with a rookie partner after a traffic stop. Pugel also said investigators found improvised explosive devices at Monfort's apartment but that investigators, so far, "cannot find any ties to anyone else." Pugel said police disarmed the improvised explosive devices before removing them. |
