The man accused in the Halloween-night shooting death of a Seattle policeman remains hospitalized, and authorities were expected to talk more about why they believe the suspect is a domestic terrorist who held a grudge against law enforcement.

Prosecutors are discussing the case with Seattle police and will likely decide on charges against Christopher Monfort, 41, later this week, the Prosecutor's Office said.

Police also believe Monfort played a role in the Oct. 22 fire-bombings of four police vehicles.

Monfort was shot by detectives in the parking lot of his suburban Tukwila apartment complex on Friday. The detectives were pursuing a tip that a car at the complex matched the description of a vehicle seen nearby when officer Timothy Brenton was killed.

Authorities say the detectives opened fire after Monfort pulled a handgun.

Investigators found improvised explosive devices and two rifles at Monfort's home, said Seattle Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel. No evidence has been found suggesting Monfort worked with others, Pugel said.

Brenton was sitting in a car Oct. 31 with rookie Officer Britt Sweeney following a traffic stop when shots were fired. Sweeney was grazed in the neck.

The shooting between detectives and Monfort on Friday happened as a memorial service for Brenton was finishing at Seattle's KeyArena.

Monfort arrived at Seattle's Harboview Medical Center in critical condition with "multiple injuries" and underwent hours of surgery Friday night. Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson said he remained in serious condition but stable condition Monday and was showing signs of improvement.

Sources told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News that Monfort is partially paralyzed and cannot speak but is able to communicate by writing and has already asked to speak with a lawyer.

Monfort has not been allowed to see anyone in the hospital other than doctors and jail guards.

Prominent Seattle Attorney John Henry Brown was asked by Monfort's family to represent him. Browne considered representing Monfort, but later declined.

Public defense attorney, Julie Lawry, said Monfort's family has received no information about their son's condition.

Lawry requested an emergency court hearing Monday to request access to Monfort for both the man's family and herself.

Prosecutors said Monfort has not requested an attorney and there was no effort by law enforcement to deny access to a lawyer.

After Monday's hearing declaring Lowry as Monfort's attorney, prosecutors said they would instruct sheriff's deputies to assist Lawry in accessing her client.

Prosecutors said there has been no attempt to get Monfort to make statements without an attorney present.

Both prosecutors and defense attorneys said they don't know much about Monfort's medical condition and do not know how much he can comprehend.
