May 4, 2024. 37-year-old Zachary Allen Stockton. The affidavit reports that Stockton allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend, accusing her of infidelity, and pointed a gun at her chest. During this confrontation, she managed to contact someone for help, who then called 911. Moses Lake Police Sgt. Adam Munro and Officer Todd Taylor were the first responders. Despite their efforts to de-escalate the situation, it escalated when they, along with the victim, retreated from the room and take cover in the motel parking lot. Stockton then emerged from the room, allegedly firing two handguns simultaneously at the officers and the victim. Both Munro and Taylor returned fire, hitting Stockton and incapacitating him. He was then taken into custody.

During the shootout, Sgt. Munro sustained a foot injury. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether the wound was inflicted by Stockton or was the result of an accidental discharge of Munro’s own weapon.

He is charged with three counts of first-degree assault, one count of second-degree assault, and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to court records.

People like that that come out blasting after cops have been nothing but calm, reasonable and trying hard to de-escalate the situation (which happens at least 90% of the time in police bodycam videos; maybe it's the Hawthorne Effect that causes that, but if it helps keep cops clean, that's good) should be liquidated on the spot. Thankfully, they frequently are. But for the public safety, violent cunts like this should be put down because they're just going to do it again someday when they get released. In this case, however, the perp will probably die in prison (minimum 10 years, I'd say) from diabetes and heart disease because he's a fat slob. But anyway we can get them, one way or another, is A-okay with me

No need to go all Rambo. Fucker should have just given up, walked out like a man & surrendered, but now he's facing life in jail.

What a clown !
