A suspect in the shooting of a Seattle, Washington, police officer is also believed to be behind the bombing of four police cars, Seattle Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said at a press conference Saturday.
Christopher Monfort, 41, remained hospitalized in serious condition after being shot by officers during a confrontation Friday.
“This man, from everything that we can tell, appears to be a lone domestic terrorist,” Pugel said.
Monfort was in custody at the hospital, but no charges had yet been filed, a Seattle police spokeswoman told CNN. Charges could be filed as early as Monday, she said.
Police named Monfort as a suspect in the Halloween night killing of Officer Tim Brenton, who was shot while sitting in his patrol car. A student officer was injured in the attack.
Investigators also suspect Monfort in the October 22 arson of four police vehicles with homemade explosives, Pugel said.
