TACOMA — A plea of not guilty was entered Monday for a 20-year-old woman accused of shooting three men at market near Gig Harbor.

Laura Sorenson is charged with attempted murder and assault and remains in the Pierce County Jail with bail set at $1.5 million.

The prosecutor’s office says she got a handgun from her grandmother’s home intending to kill herself but wanted to know what it felt to kill someone else first. She told witnesses and investigators she had been molested as a child and hated men.
