SEATTLE — Few clues have emerged from a shooting that left a nine-year police officer dead and a trainee injured on Halloween night.
Investigators have not identified a suspect, a vehicle involved or the kind of weapon used.
Field training officer Timothy Brenton, 39, and rookie Britt Sweeney, 33, were parked downtown when their cruiser was struck several times by gunfire shortly after 10 p.m., officials said.
Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said Brenton died instantly. Sweeney ducked, and a bullet grazed her back. She then called for help and returned fire, Pugel said.
Brenton is the city’s first officer killed in the line of duty since 2006.
