Four US police officers have been shot dead in a coffee shop ambush in Washington State.
Police said the incident was a "targeted attack", after a gunman walked into a coffee shop in Parkland and opened fire.
Although there were other people in the coffee shop at the time, no one else was hurt or injured in the attack.
Local media said the police were working on laptops when the gunman entered the coffee shop. The suspect then fled, without taking any money.
The police officers' families are being contacted by police, but local media has stated three male officers and one female officer all died at the scene.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect or any possible accomplices. He is described as a black male in his mid-20s to mid-30s, standing between five feet seven and five feet ten tall, of medium build, with scruffy facial hair, wearing blue jeans and a black coat with a hood.
