Four teens arrested in Tacoma shooting

TACOMA, Wash. — Four teens were arrested after a shooting that struck several houses in Tacoma on Sunday, according to the Tacoma Police Department.

At around 7:39 p.m., officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire in the 1600 block of South 47th Street.

Witnesses said four juveniles were seen running between houses and shooting at a vehicle that fled the area.

In surveillance video exclusively obtained by KIRO 7, dozens of gunshots can be heard.

According to police, two houses were struck by gunfire, including one where bullets broke a window and hit a piece of furniture while the residents were home.

A second home reported that bullets came through their living room, near where the residents were sitting, and a third home reported that bullets went through their fence.

After a search for the teens, a K9 unit found them hiding in a yard in the 1400 block of South 49th Street.

The teens — three boys ages 13, 15 and 17, as well as a 15-year-old girl — were arrested without incident and booked for first-degree assault.
