GIG HARBOR, Wash. — A Gig Habor police officer shot at a suspect who pointed a gun at officers while they were trying to make an arrest, according to the Gig Harbor Police Department (GHPD).
Officers were assisting the Pierce County Sheriff's Department to serve a no contact order on the 6400 block of 154th Street northwest around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. When officers arrived on the scene, the suspect was uncooperative and retreated into his mobile home, according to the GHPD.
