USA-CRIME/POLICEThe manhunt for the Maurice Clemmons began Sunday night after a gunman walked into the Forza Coffee café in Parkland, Wash., and shot each officer in the head as they were doing paperwork on their laptops.

Clemmons was released from custody in Washington’s Pierce County six days ago, pending charges of second-degree rape of a child.

Police have not pinned Clemmons as a suspect but have a very big hunch that Clemmons matched the witness reports describing Clemmons as a scruffy black man in his 20s of medium height wearing a black coat, gray hoodie and blue jeans.

The cops were working on their laptops at 8:15 a.m. in a Forza Coffee café when the shooter walked in and gunned them down, authorities said.

“Two of them were flat executed, sitting writing reports. A third tried to get up and was shot, and a fourth fought his way to the parking lot and got off some rounds,” said Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer.

“These four were targeted,” he said. “There was two baristas and some other customers in there. None of them were hurt or shot at or aimed at. It was not a robbery.”

The were declared dead when the paramedics arrived.
