The uniformed officers were sitting at a coffee shop in Tacoma, near the McChord Air Force Base, when two men stormed in and opened fire Sunday, broadcaster KING-TV reported.
Investigators believe the officers were targeted and that it was not a robbery. "This was a targeted, selected ambush," Pierce County police spokesman Ed Troyer told journalists.
Police have cordoned off streets around the scene and a manhunt was underway for the suspects, who fled the scene.
