Join your fellow Kent residents for a candlelight vigil 6:30 p.m. Dec. 3, to acknowledge the Lakewood Police officers killed in the line of duty Nov. 29, as well as supporting Kent’s own officers.<\/p>\n
The vigil has been organized by the North Park Neighborhood Council, and takes place between City Hall and the Police Department.<\/p>\n
Officer Greg Richards, one of the four officers killed Nov. 29 while at a Parkland coffee shop, served with the Kent Police Department from September 2001 until October 2004, before hiring on with the Lakewood Police Department.<\/p>\n
The other officers are Tina Griswold, 40, Ronald Owen, 37, and Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39.<\/p>\n
Maurice Clemmons, 37, the man believed to have been the gunman, was shot and killed early Tuesday morning in Seattle, following a massive manhunt that stretched from Pierce County up to Seattle.<\/p>\n
He is accused of walking into the coffee shop where the four officers were sitting and opening fire at them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
