A spokesman for the Pierce County sheriff says six or seven people could be in custody by the end of today for allegedly helping Maurice Clemmons while he was on the run from police.
Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says some are friends and relatives, others "partners in crime."
Police say Clemmons was fatally shot early today by a lone patrolman investigating a stolen car.
He was wanted in the Sunday morning shooting deaths of four uniformed officers at coffee shop in the Tacoma suburb of Parkland.
Police say Clemmons was carrying a handgun taken from one of the dead officers.
Four people have already been arrested. Yesterday, officers detained a sister of Clemmons who is suspected of treating a gunshot wound inflicted by one of the fatally wounded officers.
Police theorize that Clemmons targeted the coffee shop because it was frequented by police.
