SEATTLE (AP) — King County Executive Dow Constantine has urged the county sheriff to retire after she defended a deputy who fatally shot a high school student in 2017. The Seattle Times reported that the King County sheriff sent an internal email last month after announcing that a $5 million settlement in the shooting death of 20-year-old Tommy Le did not reflect how she viewed the the actions of the deputy. Constantine on Monday said the sheriff should consider retiring immediately. He joined several county councilmembers and residents who also called for the sheriff’s resignation. The sheriff said she has no plans to resign.
