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.

He said that while the officer was making inquiries about the vehicle, which was unoccupied with the engine running, he noticed a movement behind him.

He turned to find a man he believed to be Clemmons. The officer ordered the man to stop and show his hands, but the suspect tried to run away, said Assistant Police Chief Pugel.


Mr Pugel also said that Clemmons was found to be carrying a handgun taken from one of the dead officers.

Not saying anything but....He had already gunned down 4 cops from behind. A lone cop investigates his vehical. Here's movement "from behind." The suspect flees and a gun from one of the slain officers is found on him.

Not saying anything. Just saying.
