A Parkland neighborhood was the scene of a deadly incident on Sunday morning when a man and his dog were stabbed, leading to an officer-involved shooting that killed the suspect. The attack happened near S S Quickstop Grocery, and the 54-year-old victim was reportedly questioned about his religion before the assault, according to KING5.
A suspect armed with multiple knives fled from police and was found around 8:40 a.m. on the 800 block of 112th St. S. When he advanced toward deputies, they fired their weapons, and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Pierce County Force Investigation Team is investigating the incident.
Residents are concerned about a rise in local crime, with some considering leaving the area. "We're looking for a route out of here," he told KATV, "It's better to be somewhere safe, and kids can ride scooters and come out and do normal kid stuff without having to worry about who's going to get shot or if you're going to get caught in the crossfire." Police are investigating a recent violent incident and looking for the suspect. Officials are asking anyone with information to come forward. "If there are any witnesses, they'll talk to people that live here in the area to find out if they know anything, if they heard anything, if they saw anything."
