Woman in hospital after exchange of gunfire in Auburn

AUBURN, Wash. — Details are still unfolding after a woman was shot during an exchange of gunfire in Auburn.

Shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to calls of gunshots fired near the 31000 block of 120th Avenue Southeast, according to Auburn Police spokesman Kolby Crossley.

As patrol officers were on their way to the scene, dispatchers received a call from a local hospital saying a 39-year-old woman with a gunshot wound had arrived.

Crossley said the initial investigation suggested there was an argument inside an apartment which led to shots fired.

Investigators said the shooting was not random and it’s believed there isn’t a threat to the community.

No one has been arrested, but Crossley said that detectives now have an idea of who the suspect is.
