Late Night Fight, Shooting Outside Downtown Puyallup McDonald's

PUYALLUP, WA — A chaotic scene unfolded outside the McDonald's restaurant in downtown Puyallup late Tuesday night.

According to the Puyallup Police Department, it all started just before 9:30 p.m. Police say a man had come to the McDonald's to confront another man who who was accused of assaulting a female friend. As he pulled up to the restaurant, he saw the man he was looking for in another vehicle, and rammed that car with his own, slamming the car into the side of the McDonald's building, police said.

The instigator then jumped out and started hitting others with a crowbar, police said. Around the same time, a passenger in the car that had just been hit drew a rifle and began firing off shots, hitting at least one person, police said. That victim has been taken to the hospital, as has another man who received a head injury in the crowbar attack. Both are expected to survive.

By the time officers arrived on scene the wounded remained, but police say the man who started it all had disappeared. Officers say he had left his car abandoned at the McDonald's and had run away on foot. After interviewing the victim's officers say they know who he is, but have only identified him as a 30-year-old man at this point.

Police say they're now working to track the man down and have contacted several other law enforcement agencies to warn them to keep a lookout.

Other than the people directly involved in the attack, no one else was hurt. Police say McDonald's employees acted quickly and locked down the restaurant, protecting everyone else from harm.
