Man Shoots At Woman In Bellevue, She Tries To Run Him Over

BELLEVUE, WA - Mayhem broke out at an apartment complex in Bellevue over the weekend, according to police. A man pulled a gun on a woman and opened fire - then she tried to run him over multiple times.

The incident happened just before 7 p.m. Saturday along the 3000 block of 118th Avenue Southeast, just north of the I-405 and I-90 intersection. A 38-year-old man from Puyallup and a 36-year-old woman from Olympia, who were apparently dating, got into a fight, possibly while high on methamphetamine.

Witnesses told police that the man pulled a gun and fired into some bushes near where the woman was standing. She got into her van and rammed the man, who was sitting in a stolen pickup truck. The man then tried to flee on foot, but the woman followed trying to run him over.

The man eventually got back into the stolen pickup and tried to flee. The woman drove full speed into the pickup, and then continued on crashing into a wooded area on the other side of 118th.

When police arrived, they had to use a K9 to track down the man, who was located north of the crime scene. The woman escaped her handcuffs, but was quickly re-arrested.

She told police that she and the man "smoke a lot of meth."
