Seattle Lakewood Police Officers Killed - Who Were They? Photos

On Monday morning, police surrounded a house in Seattle where Maurice Clemmons suspected of killing four Seattle police officers was allegedly hiding. But, it seems Clemmons was not actually in the house. The siege of the house ended early Monday morning. It is believed Clemmons was shot and wounded by one of the slain officers. Clemmons was granted clemency nine years ago by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and has a long criminal history. Clemmons was released from custody a week ago and was facing a charge of child rape.

But, who were the killed officers?

The four police officers killed were identified are Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and officers Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Gregory Richards, 42. All of them were married and had children.

The Officer Down Memorial Page, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring America's fallen law enforcement heroes, has the officers' bios already up.

Sergeant Mark Renninger had 13 years of law enforcement experience, five with the Lakewood Police Department and eight with the Tukwila Police Department. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Officer Tina Griswold had served with the Lakewood Police Department for five years and had a total of fourteen years of law enforcement experience. She is survived by her husband and two children.

Office Ronald Owen had served with the Lakewood Police Department for five years and had a total of twelve years of law enforcement experience. He is survived by his daughter.
