A man shot by police as he was sought in connection with the Halloween killing of a Seattle police officer has been identified as 41-year-old Christopher Monfort.
At a news conference Saturday, Seattle assistant police chief Jim Pugel called Monfort "a lone domestic terrorist."
Monfort was in serious condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center Saturday morning, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson said. He underwent hours of surgery Friday night and arrived at the hospital in critical condition with "multiple injuries."
Seattle Police Officer Timothy Brenton was shot and killed Oct. 31 as he sat in a car with rookie Officer Britt Sweeney after a traffic stop. Sweeney was grazed in the neck. Friday's shooting happened just minutes before a memorial service for Brenton ended at Seattle's KeyArena.
