Deputies Return Fire, Injuring Domestic Violence Suspect, in South Hill Standoff

Pierce County deputies engaged in a shootout with a domestic violence suspect at a home on Puyallup's South Hill on Sunday.

The incident began with reports of gunfire, as a 45-year-old suspect fired shots and threatened three others at a home near the South Hill Mall.

"There was a woman and two children at the home who had fled the home out of the back window," said Pierce County Sheriff's Spokesperson Carly Cappetto.

Neighboring houses were evacuated due to the danger of stray bullets. The 45-year-old woman was slightly hurt.

Upon arrival, deputies exchanged gunfire with the suspect, and at least one deputy fired their service weapon, eventually leading to the suspect's surrender.
