US police are hunting a gunman who shot dead four police officers in a coffee shop in Washington state.

Officials said at least one gunman walked into a coffee shop in Parkland, near the McChord Air Force Base, and opened fire.

A sheriff’s spokesman said the attack was “like an execution” and it was not believed to have been a robbery.

Other people in the coffee shop at the time were not injured. Police are searching for the gunman.
