YELM, Wash. — Deputies with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office say they are investigating a shooting that happened in the area of Vail Road Southeast and Bald Hills Road in Yelm.
The victim was sent to the hospital in serious condition on Sunday.
Law enforcement found the suspect’s house around 45 minutes after the shooting happened.
With the help of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, deputies surrounded the house and commanded the suspect to step outside.
“Our SWAT team and Crisis Negotiators were requested, however, the suspect surrendered peacefully before their arrival,” said a spokesperson. “TCSO detectives are obtaining warrants and statements at both crime scenes for attempted murder.”
This all comes just after deputies found a “fresh” robbery suspect on Martin Way East in Olympia.
“Busy day for patrol,” said a spokesperson.
