Two Pierce County Deputies In Critical Condition After Another Police Shooting

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee December 21, 2009

The Pierce County Sheriff's office says two deputies responded to an Eatonville home shortly before 9:00 p.m. to deal with an "unwanted guest." Police say they received a call about two brother fighting in the home. Police say after deputies were invited into the home, David E. Crable went upstairs, grabbed a gun, and opened fire on the deputies. Both of the deputies were seriously injured, but were able to return fire, killing Crable.


One deputy was taken to Harborview, and the other was flown to an army hospital. Both deputies are reportedly in critical condition.


According to Pierce County court records, Crable has previous convictions for assault and malicious mischief, and was named in at least one domestic violence protection order.


Police have released a photo of Crable:


 


This makes at least 8 cops in the last two months. Unbelievable.
