Cops shoot dead pedophile after he showed up to hotel for girls
2024-04-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Police shot dead a pedophile who pulled a gun after he opened a hotel door expecting to be having a sick threesome with two young girls.

Instead of child victims aged seven and 11, the 67-year-old was confronted by Seattle Police officers waiting to arrest him at the DoubleTree Suites.

Bodycam footage showed the man, wearing a jacket and carrying a bag, arrive at 3.13pm on Wednesday and knock on the door.

He immediately pulled the gun before police could greet him, and the first officer lunged at the weapon to wrestle it from his grasp.

The gun went off once in the struggle, grazing one of the officers' legs, before another cop shot the pedophile twice and he fell to the ground.

Three officers fired well over a dozen rounds into the man as he lay on the ground, and he was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz said internet crimes against children increased 67 per cent from 2022 to 2023.

The officers were with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children, whose colleagues had snared the pedophile in an online sting.

#7  Seattle.
Must have been shocking, doing something so normal for the area, like getting raided for ordering a Whopper.

#5  I don’t see dumping your mag while a perp is down as good police work. In this case it was multiple mag dumps. Like the FBI , it’s not the cops job to decide who dies.
