2 arrested in armored car guard killing in Wash.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. — Police in Washington state say two people have been arrested in connection with the killing of an armored car guard during a robbery at a Wal-Mart.

Lt. Heidi Hoffman said Wednesday that more arrests are expected in the shooting Tuesday in Lakewood, near Tacoma. She said the two people in custody, arrested late Tuesday at a home in the area, were involved in some way but are not the robbers.

Authorities said two men shot 39-year-old guard Kurt Husted in the head and grabbed the bag of money he had picked up from a bank branch inside the store. A customer was wounded in the shoulder.

A nearby high school was briefly locked down as a precaution.

The gunmen’s stolen getaway car was later found abandoned in Tacoma.
