NEAR EATONVILLE, Wash. -- Two Pierce County deputies were shot near
Eatonville on Monday night.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said the two were
critically wounded at approximately 8:48 p.m. One was airlifted to
Harborview Medical Center and the other taken to Tacoma General
Hospital, then diverted to Madigan Army Medical Center.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear;
however, Troyer believed the two deputies were responding to a
domestic violence call when they were shot.
Troyer had no information on the gunman. The investigation is ongoing.
The shootings come just weeks after four Lakewood police officers were
shot to death at a coffee shop in Parkland, Wash.
Sgt. Mark Renninger, Officer Ronald Owens, Officer Tina Griswold and
Officer Greg Richards were killed Nov. 29 by Maurice Clemmons as the
four prepared for their morning shifts.
Clemmons was fatally shot by a Seattle police officer two days later.
On Oct. 31, Officer Timothy Brenton was shot to death in Seattle's
Central District neighborhood while in his patrol car.
His partner, Britt Sweney, was wounded. Prosecutors have charged
Christopher Monfort in the shootings.
If those damn cops ever show up at my buddy's home, Harry will pop a cap
in them.
