The victim was taken to the hospital and is listed in critical condition.
Investigators said the gunman waited in the parking lot and is cooperating with the investigation.
Police could not tell KIRO Newsradio whether the gunman worked at the store, was a customer or just a passerby.
“I’m not certain of the relationship between the shooter and the store, but I do know some type of a dispute took place between the two prior to the shooting,” Tacoma Police Department’s Shelbie Boyd said.
