A man was hit by gunfire in a drive-by shooting early Friday morning in downtown Tacoma, police said. His injuries were not life-threatening.
Officers responded about 12:40 a.m. to the 1300 block of Fawcett Avenue after several people called 911 to report they heard gunshots, department spokesperson Wendy Haddow said.
Haddow said the gunshots came from a vehicle. A 23-year-old man was struck in the leg and arm. He transported himself to the hospital.
No one has been arrested.
