Seattle police shot and killed the fugitive who gunned down four officers in a suburban coffee shop, a sheriff's spokesman said Tuesday.
Maurice Clemmons was shot to death after a "very alert patrol officer" investigating reports of a stolen car recognized him, Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told Fox News.
Clemmons, 37, murdered the four Lakewood police officers at a cafe Sunday morning in Parkland, a Tacoma suburb about 35 miles south of Seattle.
He was killed by a lone police officer in a working-class neighborhood after he was found with the help of information about possible hiding spots, Troyer said.
"Shots were fired," Troyer told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday. "We're very happy that the Seattle police officer is OK. ... This could have turned out a lot worse."
Troyer told Fox police arrested three people overnight on suspicion of rendering criminal assistance. They were identified as Ricky Hinton, Eddie Lee Davis and Douglas Edward Davis.
