Police say an armed man was shot and taken into custody in what may have been a robbery gone wrong near Tacoma.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter at about 10 p.m. Thursday that the suspect was in custody after exchanging gunfire with deputies at Sky Motors in Parkland.
They say the man was wearing body armor and was hit in the vest by a round fired by deputies.
The suspect entered Sky Motors in Parkland at about 8 p.m. and held four people at gunpoint. When officers arrived three people ran out of the building and the suspect pulled one person into a back room. A short time later that person ran outside.
The man fired shots throughout the incident but no one was injured.
