Deputies say a man in his 20s who was involved in the homicide was detained in Pierce County after he told a family member that he had shot his girlfriend.

That family member called the police.

They believe this was an isolated act of violence and that there’s no longer a threat to the public.

“This is an isolated incident and there is no danger to the public at this time,” Thurston County Sheriff’s department Twitter said.

Investigators remain at the scene collecting evidence.
