Deputies Investigate Parkland Domestic Violence Homicide

PARKLAND, WA — A Parkland man has died, and his wife has been booked into the Pierce County Jail and accused of his murder.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says their dispatchers received a 911 call just before 12:30 a.m. Friday, warning them there had been a shooting in a home near the intersection of 129th St S and Pacific Avenue in Parkland. When they arrived, they ordered everyone inside to evacuate the home.

At that point they took a suspect, a 32-year-old woman, into custody. While searching the home afterwards, they found the woman's husband, 33, dead in the bathroom. He had suffered several gunshot wounds and a discarded gun was found near his body.

Little else about the case has been released. Deputies say another family member was in the home at the time of the shooting is being investigated, and their crews will likely be at the home all morning continuing their search for evidence.

Meanwhile, the suspect has been booked into the Pierce County Jail. Deputies say they expect her to be charged for first degree murder.
