A policeman investigating a stolen car on a Seattle street shot dead the man accused of gunning down four police officers at the weekend, US police say.
Maurice Clemmons, aged 37, was killed in Seattle early on Tuesday, said Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel.
He said the officer recognised Clemmons and told him to stop, before opening fire after the suspect tried to flee.
Four people have been arrested for allegedly helping the suspect elude authorities during the two-day manhunt.
