Undersheriff Rick Scott said the man gave his name as Michael Thomas when the officer approached him shortly after noon inside the Grays Harbor County Courthouse in Montesano . `` He attacked her with a sharp-edged instrument , '' Scott said . `` The judge rushed to the aid of the officer and actually struck the suspect physically , knocking him off of the deputy . '' The suspect cut Superior Court Judge David Edwards in the neck . Deputy Polly Davin attempted to draw her weapon , but the suspect was able to knock her to the floor and take her weapon , officials said .

Edwards and Davin were in satisfactory condition at Grays Harbor Community Hospital , spokesman David Quigg said . `` They are comfortable and doing well , '' said Quigg , declining to detail the extent of their injuries . The suspect was still on the loose , Scott told CNN . CNN Seattle affiliate KIRO aired footage of officers in a residential neighborhood in Montesano . `` They believe he could be in a location in the area , '' said Trooper Russ Winger , a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol . `` They believe he is armed . '' Scott said officials were not certain of the suspect 's true identity . The incident occurred in Montesano , the county seat for Grays Harbor County , west of Olympia and near the Pacific Coast . Many offices and buildings were placed in lockdown . According to KIRO , a man garnered the attention of courthouse employees and the officer approached him .
