Schoolchildren were on hit list of Washington state shooterTACOMA, Wash. — Maurice Clemmons threatened to kill more than just cops in the days before he massacred four police officers at a coffee shop.
Schoolchildren and others also were on his list of targets, according to court records filed Wednesday.
A witness told Pierce County sheriff’s detectives that Clemmons told friends and family gathered for Thanksgiving dinner at his aunt’s home in Pacific that he planned to kill “cops, children at a school” and “as many people as he could in an intersection,” according to an affidavit filed by prosecutors.
Clemmons had bailed out of jail the day before.
None of those assembled Thursday reported the statements to police, and Clemmons repeated his desire to kill cops on Saturday, according to court records.Seems to me all of these people, especially those within the household and out of it who helped him after he'd killed the four cops, should be prosecuted.
