One of the guys who helped him appeared to be a murderer who was out of prision.

I don't get why these people are allowed out.

You'd be surprised who they let out, my wife is a probation officer, and sees and deals with courts on a regular basis, and some of these judges just do not care and let crimnals free to go back out and break the law again, a truly revolving door effect...

They should all be tried and held accountable. Breaking the law for family isn't OK.

I agree. The sheer number of people who helped him is actually pretty shocking.

The shooter, Maurice Clemons, was shot and killed by a Seattle police officer yesterday. It is said that he would likely have died of his wounds anyway without being shot. He had help from a large group of people (mostly family) who hid him, helped him escape from police, knew of his plan and either abetted or didn't report it, and who treated his wound. Not a single one ever thought of calling the police. I understand loving your family, I do. I would imagine it would be difficult to turn in a loved one - but still. All of these people are now being rounded up, and most will likely be arrested and tried.

They are also saying that his family and friends that aided him called in false leads to the police hotline.

uh oh, well I hear stripes are in this season!

We may never know the true events that took place this morning that ended in his demise, but at least the chain of events is over.

A.

Yep.

Unless there was something snarky going on, the police appear to have all the evidence they needed to get their conviction. The accused had sustained a wound from one of the felled officers and was in possession of one of their service revolvers...one would think that would be enough to convict....why not "wing" him, bag n tag? Makes one scratch their head.
