On February 24, around 8:41 a.m., a call came in for an order violation in progress at the 14000 block of 87th Avenue. Ct. NW involving an adult male who came to the home in violation of a no-contact order. Prior to arrival, deputies confirmed the order was not valid since it had not been served yet. Deputies received a copy of the order to serve on the male suspect, and while en route, multiple witnesses reported at 9:30am that a male was stabbing people outside the home. A solo deputy arrived, and shots were reported at 9:33am.
There were four deceased individuals, including the 32-year-old male suspect, and a fifth victim was immediately transported by Gig Harbor Fire and later succumbed to their injuries.
The Pierce County Force Investigation Team has taken over this investigation, and the scene is very active.
