BONNEY LAKE, Wash — A Bonney Lake police officer was involved in a shooting while responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle Wednesday morning.
The shooting happened just after 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Speedway Express convenience store in the 1900 block of State Route 410 East.
Officers were dispatched to a 7-Eleven after a 911 caller reported two people in a sedan who appeared to be unconscious and had drug paraphernalia in their laps.
While the officers were responding, the car moved to the Speedway Express, and another officer radioed that she was arriving in the area.
Four minutes later, she radioed that shots were fired, according to the Pierce County Force Investigation Team.
Surveillance video from the convenience store shows the officer contacting the people in the car, according to the investigation team. "Moments later," investigators said the car hit the officer, and the officer fired her weapon.
The investigation team said the car fled the scene, and police couldn't find it.
The involved officer is “OK,” according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
It's unknown if the car's occupants were hit with gunfire.
