Police are searching for a Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who they say accidentally fired a shot at his pregnant girlfriend after she caught him with another woman.
The soldier was hanging out with friends when his girlfriend showed up to “surprise him” Thursday night.
“Things went downhill from there,” said Mark Fulghum with the Tacoma Police Department. “She vandalized his vehicle, which started things rolling from there.”
Fulghum said the boyfriend retrieved a handgun from his truck and attempted to break out the window of his girlfriend’s car as she drove away. The gun accidentally went off, sending a bullet into the dash of her vehicle.
No one was injured.
