Whats even worse is that both officers family members saw them die.
Those killed,
Sgt. Anthony Wallace and Ofc. Matthew Tokuoka
RIP brothers
Quote:
Tokuoka was off duty at the time of the shooting. His wife and young children witnessed the violence as it began, as did the mother of the other officer, said Prunella, the city administrator.
Troopers said they were alerted to the shootings around 11 p.m. Tokuoka's father-in-law, Hoonah resident George Martin, said he lives nearby and heard the gunfire.
Tokuoka was in his car with his wife, Haley, their 6-year-old son and their 2-year-old daughter, Martin said. They stopped to talk to Wallace, the officer on duty, who was standing outside the vehicle. Wallace's mother, a nurse who was visiting from Florida, was nearby and saw her son shot, Prunella said.
"The regular officer went down first. In fact, my daughter and the kids were in the car. Matt wasn't actually on duty yet," Martin said. "The shots rang out, you know, and they hit Tony. I guess they hit them in the leg first. And then Matt told my daughter, he said to get the kids out of here. 'Get out of here!'" he said.
"He went to help Tony and I think that's when he got it."
Prunella said Tokuoka tried to get other people to safety.
Wallace's mother, Debbie Greene, had been in Hoonah only a few days and was riding along with her son on patrol, said Jamie Brothers, a family friend.
"It was her first visit to Alaska," Brothers said.

From first reports I would guess they all knew each other, and the cops let it go a little too far.
how so?
I know that the suspect has had violent encounters with the police in the area before for various assaults and alcohol related cases including one case where they had to taser him when he fought before. But in this case it was reported like a straight up ambush.
