Suspect in US police killings remains at large

THE suspect in the killing of four police officers gunned down in a coffee shop was not found yesterday in the Seattle home where he was thought to have been holed up overnight, likely wounded from his bloody encounter with the officers.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said the location of Maurice Clemmons was not known, and it’s possible he still could be in the neighbourhood. Troyer also said people who know Clemmons told investigators he had been shot in the torso.

“If he didn’t get a ride out of there, he could still be in the area,” Troyer said.
