SEATTLE, Wash. – A tense standoff with a suspect in the slaying of four Lakewood, Wash., police officers gunned down in a suburban coffee shop, continued at a Seattle house early Monday. The suspect is wounded and possibly dead, police said.
Police used a loudspeaker, flashbangs and what appeared to be tear gas on a building in Seattle's Leschi neighborhood early Monday where suspect Maurice Clemmons was believed to be located.
Clemmons, 37, was shot and wounded during the attack on the four officers Sunday morning, police said, Police said he was apparently shot in the "trunk" of his body and that witnesses and people who have had contact with Clemmons say he had been trying to treat the wound himself. It was unclear what his condition was, or if he was even in the building.

They've cordoned off the area and the Leschi shool has been cancelled today. Apparently this has been going on for 10 hours. They certainly -- understandably -- engaged in a full court press as they had no idea who the shooter was when this occurred yesterday, and they've now ceased calling him a person of interest and say he is indeed the suspect. I think this will be resolved fairly soon.
