Lakewood police had advised her, along with others on the Clover Park Technical College campus, to lock their doors as a precaution because of a car-to-car shooting that broke out around 5 p.m. Police were looking for other suspects in the 6100 block of Steilacoom Boulevard, reported The Tacoma News Tribune.
Lt. Chris Lawler said a pair of cars were shooting at each other then drove away. There were no injuries as of 6:45 p.m., the Tribune reported. Police set up a containment and were able to locate both cars and took two individuals believed to be in the vehicle into custody.
