Police Raid Comes Up Empty in Search for
Police Attacker
On
Sunday Police raided the home of a man suspected in the slaying of 4 police
officers in Washington State, but were unable to find the suspect.
Police
officers brandishing heavy weapons surrounded the home of Maurice Clemmons'
wife on Sunday at her Tacoma home. Later
that night the officers issued a warrant to search the property in hopes of
finding Mr. Clemmons in connection with the slaying of 4 Lakewood police
officers Sunday morning.
In
the search, investigators found the GPS tracking bracelet of Clemmons. Clemmons, who has an extensive criminal
record in Arkansas and Washington, was released from custody just a week ago in
connection with the rape of a child.
While
the search of his wife's home came up empty, investigators have an idea of
where the suspect might be heading.
The
investigators have reason to believe that Clemmons was shot by one of his
victims. Pierce County Police Department
spokesman Ed Troyer noted that if Clemmons was shot he likely will be traveling
a long distance to receive medical attention.
