TWO US police deputies have been shot in Eatonville, Washington, just three weeks after four officers were gunned down and killed in the same county.

The incident came as the two Pierce County deputies responded to an emergency call at a house south of Puyallup. One of two brothers inside the home is thought to have opened fire, Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told Q13 Fox.

One brother had allegedly invited the deputies in and then the second opened fire on them from an upstairs room. Both were shot multiple times.

The armed suspect was killed at the scene by one or both of the police officers.

One of the deputies was transported in critical condition to Madigan Hospital and the second was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, also in critical condition.

At the end of November, four police officers were killed in the same Washington county, in an execution-style ambush at a Tacoma coffee shop.

The prime suspect was identified as Maurice Clemmons, who reportedly had a long criminal history, including five convictions in Arkansas and several charges in Washington.

He was shot dead by police three days later, after going on the run.

Citizens had enough of police corruption and the "untouchable bully" mentality?  Good for them.  Let's hope this spreads.

 Rat Catcher, While I agree that BM's comment, without knowing ANY of the facts indicates he is indeed an ass, I have to correct you.
The reference to "Career Criminal "Clemmons" was in reference to the 4 Cops shot in the Coffee shop, the article gave no information at all about the subject in THIS shooting beyond the fact that it was a now dead male.

Have you ever witnessed a cop do a good deed?  "Protect and Serve"?  In 39 years I have yet to.  The cops I have talked to, just sitting around BS'n, while only four or five, have all made it clear "we can get away with anything!" is foremost in why they love the job.  Yeah, your right ratboy...  They're great people!

Before somebody points out the obvious...  Yes, there are surely a very, very few out there doing their jobs correctly, honestly, and doing the public a good, fair service.  1 in oh, a hundred.

Rat catcher, Thanks for the link.
 If BM ever bothers to read it I wonder how he will back out of defending such an upstanding citizen ?
