- A man immediately pulled out a gun after officers opened the door.
- The first police officer took the gun from him while the others shot the man.
- Three police officers shot him more than a dozen times and he died at the scene.
A pedophile who pulled out a gun after opening a hotel door expecting to have a sick threesome with two girls was shot dead by police.
Instead of child victims ages seven and 11, the 67-year-old man was confronted by Seattle police officers waiting to arrest him at the DoubleTree Suites.
Body camera 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 out the gun before the police could greet him, and the first officer lunged for the gun to take it out of his hands.

He immediately pulled out the gun before the police could greet him, and the first officer lunged for the gun to take it out of his hands.
The gun went off once during the fight, grazing the officers’ legs, before another police officer shot the pedophile twice and he fell to the ground.
Three officers fired more than a dozen bullets at the man as he lay on the ground, and he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz said internet crimes against children increased 67 percent between 2022 and 2023.
“For our officers, these situations are dangerous, unpredictable and can escalate quickly,” he said.
The agents were from the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children organization, whose colleagues had caught the pedophile in an online raid.
