TACOMA — Authorities say a woman in her 20s died after someone fired several bullets into the back of her vehicle as she drove.

The News Tribune reports the shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Friday.

Police spokeswoman Shelbie Boyd said investigators haven’t found anyone who saw the shooting, but that they do have a witness who saw the woman’s car slow down and come to rest against another vehicle. She was the only person inside, and traveled about a block after she was shot before the car stopped.

Paramedics arrived to take the woman to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
