Explosion of pot shop robberies in WA state

We’re learning more about an attempted robbery at Euphorium pot shop in Covington in King County. A would-be robber was shot dead there Thursday night. And an employee who happens to be the ID checker at the front door is now being called a hero.

Police in Tacoma were investigating after a worker at a marijuana shop, was fatally shot during a robbery Saturday evening. It is the second fatal shooting at a marijuana dispensary in as many days in Western Washington.

When David Longwell left his house to pick up some food and traffic hit a standstill, he figured there had been another crash on E. Portland Ave. in Tacoma.

Law enforcement and members of his family gathered Saturday to escort the body of Pierce County Sheriff's Deputy Dom Calata from St. Joseph's Medical Center to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
