TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Two memorials are under construction for the four Lakewood police officers who were shot to death last November at a coffee shop.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reports one memorial outside the police department headquarters is a granite wall and plaza to honor the four and those who might die in the future in Lakewood. The other memorial with four flag poles is being erected outside the Parkland coffee shop where the four were killed.

Organizers hope both memorials will be completed by the Nov. 29 anniversary of the deaths.
