Police said when officers arrived, they found two people suffering from apparent gunshot wounds and “despite life-saving efforts by medical personnel, the male victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

A 21-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet and her boyfriend was killed, the station says.

A family member of the woman told KIRO the pair got into a fight before the shooting and the suspect followed them into the ER before opening fire.

The hospital said in a statement that was on restricted access due to the incident, which means no visitors are being allowed but the ER is open for walk-in patients.

“Tacoma Police are on-site investigating the incident. … All MultiCare staff are safe and unharmed,” the hospital added.
