Moment cops shoot dead 67-year-old pedophile in sting operation after he showed up to a hotel to meet two girls aged 7 and 11

Police shot dead a pedophile who pulled a gun after opening a hotel door expecting to have a sick threesome with two young girls.

Instead of child victims aged seven and 11, the 67-year-old was confronted by Seattle police officers waiting to arrest him at the DoubleTree Suites.

Bodycam footage shows the man, dressed in a jacket and carrying a bag, arriving at 3:13 pm on Wednesday and knocking on the door.

He immediately pulled the gun before police could greet him, and the first officer lunged at the gun to wrestle it from his grasp.

During the struggle, the gun went off once, grazing one of the officers’ legs, before another officer shot the pedophile twice and he fell to the ground.

Three officers fired over a dozen bullets at the man as he lay on the ground, and he was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Seattle Police 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 officers were affiliated with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children, whose colleagues had lured the pedophile into an online sting.

During the struggle, the gun discharged once, hitting one of the officers in the leg, before another officer shot the pedophile twice and he fell to the ground.
