I'm sad to say that we've lost anotherofficer in the line of duty and anotherofficer who's been critically injured.
Approximately 10:50 a.m.
um our officers transported anindividual over to Swedish CovenantHospital um for an observation at which
time two of our officers were shot.
Onewas shot critically and was pronounced.
Uh the second officer right now is fighting for his life in the hospital behind us.
Um we have anindividual uh who's in custody right now
um and a weapon recovered.
This is underinvestigation and we're not going to do anything to impede that investigation.
