Police Officer Dale Eggers was shot and killed while moonlighting as a security guard at a local bank at 2555 Beacon Avenue South.
Officer Eggers, who was in uniform, was sitting at a desk and was unaware a robbery had taken place at a teller's window. As the subject exited the bank, he shot Officer Eggers in the head even though he had not been confronted.
The subject, an ex-convict, was apprehended just hours before Officer Eggers' funeral. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Officer Eggers had served with the Seattle Police Department for 18 years.
