LACEY, Wash. — Authorities are investigating a shooting that killed one person and injured two others in Lacey.
Thurston County deputies responded to multiple calls of gunshots in the 6100 block of Ruddell Road Southeast Wednesday at about 9 p.m. Neighbors said the shots came from inside the home.
"While we were responding, we got more calls into the dispatch center indicating that after a series of shots were fired and there were a lot of vehicles fleeing the residence," said Sgt. Tim Rudloff with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
When deputies arrived, they found a man dead in the living room of the home. Police said at the time of the shooting, about 10 people were inside the home near Chambers Prairie Elementary.
