Gig Harbor deadly standoff follows protection-order violation, deputy shoots suspect
In Gig Harbor, a man bound by a no-contact protection order allegedly stabbed multiple people and was shot by a Pierce County deputy as responders arrived. The incident occurred in the 14000 block of 87th Avenue Court Northwest after deputies had tried to serve the order (it had not yet been served). Three victims were found dead at the scene and a fourth died later at a hospital; the suspect also died. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office Force Investigation Team is investigating the deputy-involved shooting.
