From Sgt. John Urquhart at King County Sheriff’s Office:
A 41 year-old woman shot her 55 year-old boyfriend at least twice with a handgun last night (October 1st). He was taken to Harborview Hospital with non life- threatening injuries.
The incident occurred about 10:30 PM in the 800 block of SW 117th in unincorporated King County, just to the north of Burien.
The pair live with the man’s brother and the woman’s 15 year-old son, both of whom were home at the time of the shooting.
The son called 9-1-1 and everyone except the suspect made their way out of the house as deputies arrived.
The woman refused to come out of the house or communicate with deputies. Eventually the Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team entered the residence and took the woman into custody just before 2:00 AM. No one was injured.
The suspect was booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Assault 1st Degree. A small caliber handgun was recovered inside the house.
