Detectives investigating fatal shooting in Buckley garage

Detectives were investigating a fatal shooting in Buckley early Saturday.

It was about 2:25 a.m. when Pierce County sheriff’s deputies were called to 272nd Avenue East just north of Highway 410 by someone who called 911 to report a shooting in a garage.

They found a man dead from a gunshot wound, Sgt. Darren Moss said.

The victim has not been identified.

Two women were doing a security check of a friend’s property when they encountered the man in the garage.

“There was an altercation and one of the women, who was armed, shot the male, who died at the scene,” Moss said.

The women were taken into custody for questioning but had not been arrested.
