2 More Sea-Tac Officers Shot

Two Pierce County Sheriff's deputies were "basically ambushed" Monday night when responding to a domestic violence call near Eatonville, a spokesman said. The shooting was the third within two months in which police officers in the Seattle-Tacoma metroplitan area were targeted by gunmen. The suspected shooter, identified as David Edward Crable, 35, (pictured) was shot and killed during the incident, which happened shortly after 9 p.m. in the 34300 block of Tanwax Court East. One deputy was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and was in critical condition Tuesday morning. The other, a sergeant, was rushed to Madigan Army Medical Center and was upgraded to serious condition early Tuesday/Seattle P-I. More here.

Question: Would you sleep well if a loved one of yours was involved in law enforcement?
