The four officers — Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, and Officers Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Greg Richards, 42 — were shot and killed Sunday morning as they worked on their laptops in a Tacoma-area coffee shop before the start of their shift.  Many people have left flowers, balloons, and American flags in a shrine outside of the Lakewood Police department.
