GRANITE FALLS — A hunt was under way near Granite Falls on Tuesday after a man reportedly fired a gun and ran into the woods.

The commotion started about 11:45 a.m. in the 17800 block of Crooked Mile Road, Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

Police believe there was some kind of argument about stolen property. A 51-year-old man allegedly fired multiple shots. No one was injured.
