There's a massive police response down in Tukwila, where Tukwila police are reporting that a "person of interest" in Officer Brenton's shooting was shot by police while they were there serving a warrant.

This started about 25 minutes after the conclusion of Brenton's memorial at Key Arena.

TV chopper coverage is showing a covered vehicle in the parking lot of the apartment complex where today's shooting occurred, and it appears to be of the shape and size of a Datsun 210, the suspect vehicle in the Halloween shooting.

SPD homicide personnel are said to be on the scene in Tukwila, but so far SPD isn't talking about what might be going on.

More as we get it. We're headed to the scene for more.

The Seattle Times is reporting the suspect was shot in the head. Reports are that the suspect has been transported to Harborview. Seattle Crime is reporting that the man has died. that the man survived the shooting.

Tukwila police have said that two other people have been taken into custody in the incident.

This is such an adrenaline rush. On one hand, I really hope he's dead to get what he deserves. On the other hand, I want him alive so we can know just what the hell he was thinking.

It looks like seattle crime has retracted it's report that the suspect died. At this time, here's the quote:

"The man reportedly pulled a gun on officers, who opened fire. The man apparently survived the shooting."
