Ep. 51 - Nov. 2009: Lakewood, WA Officers Gunned Down

The Police Applicant Podcast

Dec 2 2022 • 1 hr 6 mins

This is a special Legacy Podcast. On November 29, 2009, four Lakewood, Washington police officers were fatally shot at the Forza Coffee shop, near Tacoma. A gunman, later identified as Maurice Clemmons, entered the shop, shot the officers while they worked on laptops, and fled the scene with a single gunshot wound in his torso. After a massive two-day manhunt, Officer Ben Kelly of the Seattle PD, recognized Clemmons near a stalled car in south Seattle. Kelly’s confrontation with Clemmons ended the life of a cop killer. On this original 2010 Policebackground.net Podcast, we interviewed Officer Kelly. Officer Kelly detailed how he survived this critical incident.
