A Seattle officer shot and killed a burglar running around with just a towel on and wielding a machete after he stabbed a K9 officer to death and injured another cop.
Dramatic body cam footage released over the weekend shows the moment two officers begin chasing down the burglary suspect, who has yet to be identified, on January 5.
