TACOMA — The Pierce County medical examiner’s office says the woman who was wounded in a Sunday afternoon shootout with officers at Bonney Lake died of her injuries at a hospital.

She’s identified as 38-year-old Holly Crahay of SeaTac.

She fled a traffic stop and a deputy forced her into a guardrail on Highway 410. The sheriff’s office says Crahay opened fire on the deputy and a Bonney Lake police officer who returned fire, fatally wounding her and killing a pit bull dog.

The deputy suffered a cut face after a bullet went through his car window.

The News Tribune reports Crahay was wanted in King County for violating a protection order, felony harassment-domestic violence and unlawful possession of a firearm.
