Gregoire statement on Tanwax Lake shooting

Governor Gregoire issued this statement earlier today, following the third attack on police officers in two months, which occurred last night near Tanwax Lake, north of Eatonville.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the two wounded Pierce County deputies, their families, friends, and the entire law enforcement community.

“I am deeply troubled by the recent series of attacks on our law enforcement officers. I ask that all Washington citizens join me in sending a clear message that these assaults on law enforcement officers will not be tolerated. The people of Washington and across America know that those who wear a badge show us the true meaning of service. They sacrifice their safety for ours. We owe them and their families our gratitude, respect and support."
During this holiday time when we reflect, with gratitude, on the blessings in our lives, NPI would like to add our support for our law enforcement officers and members of the armed forces who lay it all on the line every day so that we all can live in a safer world.
