Tacoma police detectives are trying to figure out who fired a gun and hit a woman inside a home on the 5600 block of S J Street.

They said a drive-by shooting took place just after 9:00 p.m. Saturday.

A bullet entered a home, and a 29-year-old woman inside was hit.

Medics took her to the hospital, but say she may not survive.
