Officers said they pursued a car spotted speeding away from the scene. Boyd said the driver of that car told officers his friend was driving a person who was shot to a nearby hospital. Moments later, police received a call from another nearby hospital about a second victim who drove himself to the emergency room. Police said a third victim was injured after being hit by another car fleeing the scene.

Detectives are still piecing together what led up to the shooting that left several bullet holes in parked cars. They expressed concern that the shooting happened in such a densely populated area.

“We don’t want this happening in Tacoma,” Boyd said. “It’s not acceptable, we’re not OK with it, so we’re doing everything we can to cut down on the violence. ”

Police did arrest one person on suspicion of a crime unrelated to the shooting, but they are questioning him about the incident.

“At this point, it’s unknown exactly what the relationship to shooting is,” Boyd said. “They were booked into the jail on a weapon violation.”
