LAKEBAY, Wash. – An attempted invasion robbery at a home on Key Peninsula that housed a large marijuana grow operation turned into a gun battle between the owner and the robbers Thursday night. One robber is dead, at least two other people are wounded and as many as four people may be on the run in the neighborhood.
It happened around 8:30 p.m. near Tiedman Road and Herron Road in Lakebay. Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Detective Ed Troyer says there is a "substantial" marijuana grow operation in the home.
Troyer says as many as seven people may have been involved in the invasion. Two suspects and the homeowner were shot. One of the suspect died at the scene. The alleged getaway driver and the homeowner were wounded. Their conditions were not immediately known.
Troyer says handguns and shotguns were used and there are 50 to 100 rounds of spent ammunition at the scene.
Another three to four suspects are on the loose. Some of them may be armed. They may also be wounded. Troyer says the sheriff's department received phone calls from other locations from suspects claiming to have been shot.
People in the neighborhood are being urged to stay inside, lock their doors and not answer the door.
"This is unbelievable," said neighbor Diana McGee. "It could be the neighbor kids. I'm not sure which house it is, but it's our road."
A woman at a nearby gas station said she heard as many as 15 gunshots.
Deputies have closed off Tiedman Road at Herron Road. The Washington State Patrol says it is assisting the sheriff's department.
