Woman suffers gunshot wound in Tacoma after incident began in Pierce County, police say

In Tacoma, a woman was shot in an incident that appears to have stemmed from an attempted residential burglary in Pierce County. The police responded to the shooting around 1:30 PM, and the victim is currently in stable condition at a local hospital. The earlier disturbance involved five armed men attempting to break into a relative's apartment while the victim monitored the situation remotely through a smart doorbell camera. Witnesses reported that the suspects were visibly armed and engaged in aggressive behavior, including banging on doors and throwing rocks. After the attempted break-in, the suspects fled in two vehicles, prompting a search by deputies, who were unable to locate them.

About thirty minutes later, the victim was shot, raising questions about the relationship between the two incidents. Investigators are working to determine if the shooting victim is the same person targeted during the burglary attempt. As of now, no suspects are in custody, and the investigation is ongoing.
