[onehandle]

Seattle, Washington (CNN) -- A Pierce County, Washington, sheriff's deputy wounded a week ago in a shooting at a domestic dispute died Monday after he was removed from life-support systems, a sheriff's department spokesman said.

Deputy Walter "Kent" Mundell Jr. died surrounded by his family, as fellow officers gathered at the hospital to honor their colleague, said Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer.

Mundell, 44, is the sixth police officer in the Seattle area to die in the line of duty over the past three months.
