KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. — While searching for a person of interest in a murder investigation, Kitsap County deputies say gunshots are being heard in the area near Snider Park.

People living near the park should remain in their homes for their safety, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office.

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a person of interest after a man was found dead outside his Poulsbo home this weekend.

35-year-old Laird Dinsmore is wanted for questioning in the case.

On Saturday, a 50-year-old man was found dead outside his home on Big Valley Road Northeast.

Anyone who sees Dinsmore should call 911 right away.

The department says people who live in the area should expect a large presence of law enforcement for the next several hours.

“While there isn’t an indication of a threat to the public at this time, deputies will also be present at Snider Park ahead of a baseball game scheduled for tonight,” the department said online.
