TUMWATER, Wash. Police say a woman was shot in the head with a pepperball after being confronted by two women who robbed her in a parking lot.
The robbery happened June 28 at South Puget Sound Community College. Tumwater police say the 46-year-old woman got into her car when a woman approached and asked for directions. When the victim turned away to get a piece of paper, the suspect pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victim's head.
The suspect demanded money, which the victim refused to give her. The victim then noticed a second woman standing there, also with a gun pointed at her head.
The victim says the second suspect shot her in the head with a pepperball, at the prompting of the first suspect.
Both suspects got in a car and took off with an undisclosed amount of money. The victim wasn't able to get a license plate number, but says the car was a newer gold Chevy Cavalier 4-door.
The first suspect is in her mid-20s. She is darker skinned, possibly mixed-nationality. She's approximately 5-feet, 8-inches tall with a medium build, light eyes that are possibly green and brown hair. She was wearing a brown leather jacket and blue jeans.
The second suspect is in her mid-to-late 20's. She is white, 5-feet, 5-inches tall with a heavy build and brown hair. She may have been wearing glasses.
