MILL CREEK — A hunt is on for somebody who reportedly opened fire on Mill Creek police officers early Sunday.
The incident occurred while officers were responding to a 1:25 a.m. alarm in the 2100 block of 132nd Street SE, according to a police press release.
Officers said a tan or beige full-sized truck with no canopy slowly rolled up on the scene. There were gunshots but no reported injuries.
“It is unknown if the shooter(s) were specifically targeting the officers on scene,” police reported.
The truck sped away and officers immediately gave chase but without success. A vehicle matching the description was reported later driving recklessly at the Thomas Lake Shopping Center, where more shots apparently were fired.
Police asked anyone with information to call 911.
“I am proud of our police force and thankful we had no tragedies as a result of last night’s incident. The City will utilize all of its available resources to identify and prosecute the responsible parties,” City Manager Rebecca Polizzotto said.
