Police shot dead a pedophile who pulled a gun after he opened a hotel door expecting to be having a sick threesome with two young girls. Instead of child victims aged seven and 11, the 67-year-old was confronted by Seattle Police officers waiting to arrest him at the DoubleTree Suites. Bodycam footage showed the man, wearing a jacket and carrying a bag, arrive at 3.13pm on Wednesday and knock on the door. He immediately pulled the gun before police could greet him, and the first officer lunged at the weapon to wrestle it from his grasp.

Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz said internet crimes against children increased 67 per cent from 2022 to 2023. 'For our officers, these situations are dangerous, unpredictable, and can escalate rapidly,' he said. The officers were with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children, whose colleagues had snared the pedophile in an online sting.
