Pierce County Tragedy

We had thought our writings on Northern Pacific Report would be mainly about mundane court business on civil & political matters and council meetings, and never expected to write about successive tragedies, but sadly, not very long after the other tragedies, four police officers from the Lakewood, WA Police Dept. were ambushed and killed by a gunman, today. Reportedly, the gunman is still at large, and Governor Christine Gregoire said that the State of Washington is extending help to the local authorities in trying to catch him. The gunman is reportedly believed to be injured by one of the deceased officers who valiantly tried to stop the gunman. "Commons" extends condolence to the families of the officers.

Post-script (added on 12/1/09): the alleged gunman was killed by a policeman, today, during a confrontation.

The names of the four deceased Lakewood Police Dept. officers are Tina Griswold, Ronald Owens, Mark Renninger and Greg Richards.
