Man allegedly attacks woman with machete in Tacoma RV

Troopers say a man driving a red Toyota Celica pulled beside a silver Honda Accord and fired a single gunshot into the Honda’s right-rear door.

The man was described as white, in his mid-30s, with short, dark hair, short facial hair, and either freckles or acne on his face.

The red Celica is believed to be from the early 2000s with a red tail-fin spoiler and after-market wheels and tail lights with possibly black housing.

If you have any information on the case, call Washington State Patrol Detective Travis Calton at 360-918-4032.
