BOTHELL, Wash. (AP) — Authorities in Bothell say they’ve arrested a man suspected of killing one officer and wounding another in a traffic stop.
The Bothell Fire Department originally tweeted around midnight that two Bothell officers were down following a pursuit. Bothell Police Captain Mike Johnson later announced that one of the officers was killed. Another officer was taken to Harborview Medical Center in “satisfactory” condition.
It’s unclear what sparked the pursuit and subsequent shooting. Police said they found the gunman hiding on a rooftop near the scene.
