I have been out of the area hauling livestock and did not hear about the tragedy until late this afternoon, but was told that it was 4 Seattle Officers. I know from experience that anything done in and around the Puget Sound area always seems to be taken as Seattle.
Later a former partner of mine called and told me it was Lakewood P.D. Officers. I train and teach with 4 of them, so naturally the flags went up and I was on the phone.
Talked with some of my fellow instructors from there and found that I know 2 of deceased. Also got the story of what transpired. All I can say at this point is FOX news seems to have the best account of what actually happened.
I trained and taught with Sgt. Renninger, and knew Officer Richards through other means.
I am starting a donation fund for all the families involved. I will accept donations from now until December 20th.
Once all are collected, I will forward them to the designated person at Lakewood P.D. for disbursement. I will make sure they know the funds came from the members of NWFA Forum.
