A reported burglary near Olympia led to shots being fired, with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) now asking for the public’s assistance in obtaining footage related to the incident.

Just before midnight Oct. 31, deputies were called to respond to a burglary, where the suspected burglar was fleeing the scene as officers arrived, TCSO announced.

A police pursuit ensued following the suspect from Gibson Road S.W. to Highway 99, then onto 183rd Ave. S.W., where the vehicle finally came to a stop in the 18700 block of Nutmeg St. S.W.
