PARKLAND, Wash. - Four police officers have been shot and killed near McChord Air Force Base.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says that the officers were in a coffee shop near 116th Street and Steele Street on the east side of the Air Force base at about 8:30 a.m.
Troyer says the officers were preparing for their shift when a suspect or suspects opened fire.
Troyer called it an "ambush."
The suspects remain on the loose.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information. Tips can be called in to 253-591-5959.
He could not immediately say what agency the officers were from. Police were searching for a male suspect and interviewing witnesses. Forza Coffee is near McChord Air Force Base in Tacoma.
"We hopefully will have answers, but there is nothing more we can tell you," Troyer said. "That's as cold-hearted as it is."
