SEATTLE (AP) — A lone officer on patrol Tuesday night spotted a stolen car, its hood up and engine running, and pulled over to check it out. As the patrolman sat in his cruiser, a burly man with a large mole on his cheek came up from behind.The officer turned and instantly recognized the most wanted man in the Pacific Northwest — the ex-con accused of gunning down four cops at a coffee shop. Moments later, Maurice Clemmons, 37, lay dead in the street, shot by the patrolman after Clemmons moved for a gun he had taken from one of the slain officers, police said.
