Four teens were arrested after a shooting that struck several houses in Tacoma on Sunday, according to the Tacoma Police Department.

Dispatchers received numerous calls of shots fired in the 1600 block of South 47th Street Sunday evening.

Tacoma police withdraw from candidate shooting probe

Tacoma Police say sounds from the barrage of bullets were caught on surveillance video. They were firing shots at a vehicle speeding away.

According to investigators, the four arrested were three boys ages 13, 15, and 17, as well as a 15-year-old girl.

Witnesses reported seeing the four juveniles sprinting between houses spraying bullets. Several rounds hit two homes. Windows were busted out in one home, and a bullet got stuck in a piece of furniture.

The second home reported that bullets came through their living room, near where the residents were sitting, and a third home reported that bullets went through their fence.

A K9 unit tracked the suspects hiding in a yard. They were arrested and booked without incident into the juvenile detention center on first degree assault.
