BRINNON, Wash. — The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) was involved in a shooting near Brinnon, just north of Dosewallips State Park on Friday, according to the Washington State Patrol (WSP).

According to WSP, the man's vehicle collided with a parked car approximately two hours later and the man fled the scene on foot.
The man was located nearby behind a shed by the detective and another deputy. WSP said the man brandished a handgun, which led to the deputies firing multiple rounds.
