Last night in Federal Way it appears officers responded to calls of gunfire at a Fed Way Apartment complex, they got in a gun battle with a suspect, killing him.

8 officers are on paid administrative leave, 5 total confirmed dead.

I saw that all over local and national news networks this morning. The gun grabbers are already wanting to dance in their blood to further their agenda.

No '"gun battle with a suspect" was claimed.
They did claim that the bad guy "reached for his gun", Sooo they shot him, dead.
They,,, the news, have never said that a gun was found?????

I lived in Federal Way for 6 months. There was a shot fired behind my apartment and one person was hit in the leg. I'm not surprised by this in the least and wish I was armed when I lived there in the late 90's.

Why do you quote me, but not address the point of my post?

I wish you and other readers to take note that the news folks
did NOT report that a gun was "actually" found!!!

And? Since when is the news media accurate on anything, especially reporting on gun-related news?

KOMO article has more detail (if you will) than KING:

Wilson said the gunman also used a shotgun to blast open the door and murder a 61-year-old man inside a neighboring apartment after the man who lived there yelled for someone to call 911 to report the initial gunshots.

Well,,,

Sooo OK, he had "previous domestic violance convictions",,, but was still "allowed to carry concealed weapons"????
But the law didnt stop him from killing ,,, people...
But I still ask, where are the reports of the gun that should have been found and reported,
And now A SHOTGUN that should have been found?
These TWO guns should have been found, AND, they should have been reported by the ,,,NEWS!!

the news says

The man had a history of domestic violence incidents in Seattle and Federal Way

doesn't say he was convicted. only that there were "incidents." Sounds to me like the police have contacted this guy several times before and never were able to make charges stick....

i want to wait until we see exactly who this guy is....

Having a rough day Defnder? Really it is of little consequence that a gun was reported being found or not!
No one said in the story about mode of carry (open or concealed) but he clerly had a pistol and a shotgun and used them to kill other humans...

Do you mean to whom it will be reported to? To the Detectives, Prosecutors, Defense Attorney, Judge and/or Jury and if you call and give them your phone number and asked really nicely, nah just kidding.

Thanks for calling me out by name!

Should WE care if a gun is found at a shooting?
Do we expect an acurate accounting of the evidence that is found, should it be complete?



Sorry for the delay.... I think I Must have fell asleep... It was realnice....
