From the Pierce County (Washington) Force Investigation Team:
“On August 28th members of the Pierce County Force Investigation Team responded to the 6700 block of Monroe in the City of Tacoma to investigate a report of an officer involved shooting. While the investigation is still in the preliminary stages, the following synopsis was developed after interviewing civilian witnesses, witness officers, dispatch CAD notes, and physical evidence at the scene.
On August 28th, 2022, at 2:01 PM Tacoma officers were dispatched to a residence in the 6700 block of South Monroe for a report of an assault that had occurred approximately 90 minutes earlier. The caller stated the suspect, a relative of his, had not used a weapon in the assault but was in possession of several firearms and might try to “shoot police”.
Officers arrived at 2:20 PM and they contacted the assault victim. At 2:46 PM officers advised that they had probable cause for 4th degree DV assault. Communication was attempted with the assault suspect but he was not cooperative. At 2:57 PM officers advised over the air “shots fired…he’s actively shooting at us”. This went on for several minutes and at 3:01 PM an officer stated the assault suspect was “firing on Madison…he keeps firing” and “he reloaded”. Less than a minute later an officer stated “shots fired, suspect down”. At 3:08 PM officers were able to safely approach with medical personnel and found the assault suspect deceased.”
