Just after 10 p.m. Sunday night, Tacoma police arrived at the house in the 3400 block of South Proctor Street following a noise complaint.

Following the shooting, Tacoma police surrounded the residence until a SWAT team arrived to clear the house and declare the area safe.

The officer has been put on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated. Speaking to KIRO 7 after the shooting, the victim’s mother said she didn’t blame police for her son’s death.
