Four people have been shot at a home in Tumwater.
Tumwater police say five men and women were inside a home in the 200 block of Gerth Street Southwest about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when three men entered and gunshots were fired.
Four people were hit by gunshots. Two were taken to Harborview Medical Center and two were taken to St. Peter’s Hospital. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
Officer J. Kold said there was a standoff situation after the shooting in which one man remained inside. SWAT officers responded. When they entered the house, they found another man with a gunshot wound.
Police said it is unclear whether the shots were fired by the victims, the suspects or both.
Police say they had been to the home before and that some of the calls were drug-related.
Investigators are interviewing those involved and said no suspects are at large.
