Seattle Police Kill Alleged Pedophile During Sting Operation (VIDEO)
Seattle police shot and killed a 67-year-old alleged pedophile during a sting operation at a DoubleTree Suites hotel in Tukwila. The suspect arrived at the hotel on Wednesday afternoon, believing he was meeting two young girls, ages 7 and 11, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
The suspect knocked on a hotel room door, where undercover officers from the SPD and the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce were waiting to arrest him. As officers answered the door, the suspect attempted to pull out a gun. The officers immediately opened fire, fatally shooting him.
Bodycam footage released by the SPD captures the dramatic moment when the suspect was confronted and subsequently shot. One officer was grazed by a bullet during the exchange but was treated on the scene for minor injuries.
