TACOMA—Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies investigating a weapon-related call in Bonney Lake on early Saturday morning were involved in a shooting, the department said.
Deputies responded at roughly 4:50 a.m. to an incident regarding intimidation with a weapon at 117th Street East and 203rd Avenue East, and were contacting a suspect, when shots were fired, the department said in a statement.
No deputies were injured and the suspect, who surrendered shortly after, was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to the department.
A subsequent statement from the county’s Force Investigation Team provided additional details. Deputies arrived at the address and were told the suspect had a gun and refused to come out. The shots-fired call came a moment later.
