A 20-year-old man wanted for a shooting that injured a woman at a Kent American Legion hall in March has been captured in Pierce County.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Armed with an arrest warrant provided by Kent Police investigators, gang detectives from the Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s Department went to a Spanaway residence Thursday evening looking for the man, according to a Kent Police media release. They found him in hiding at that location and took him into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The man’s arrest stems from a shooting that occurred shortly after 11 p.m. March 19<\/a> the American Legion Hall, 25405 97th Pl. S.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A large group of people, including a 43-year-old woman and her family, were leaving a private birthday party at the hall when shots rang out in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The investigation revealed that the woman was caught in a cross fire stemming from a fight between the 20-year-old man and other gang members. The assault left her with gunshot wounds to the shoulder and right arm. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with non-life threatening injuries. The other family members were shaken but unharmed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At the time of his arrest, the man was discovered in possession of several firearms. Some of the weapons recovered were determined to be stolen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kent Police Department is very grateful for the assistance of the Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s Department in capturing (the man),” said Kent Police Lt. Pat Lowery. “His arrest is a tremendous relief for the entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The man will be transferred to the King County Jail from Pierce County pending his first court appearance.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
