Seattle Police Kill Mad Dog

Good riddance to bad rubbish:

• The man suspected of gunning down four police officers in a suburban coffee shop was shot and killed by Seattle police early Tuesday, a sheriff's spokesman said.

  Maurice Clemmons was shot to death in a working-class south Seattle neighborhood after police tracked him down using possible hiding spots supplied by Pierce County investigators, said Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the county sheriff.

We don't expect any rational explanation for what was done to our fellow officers in Washington to ever be found, but perhaps they can rest in peace knowing their killer is rotting in hell about now. Or at least their families might find some comfort.
