Police are asking for help finding or identifying the third suspect in the Graham-Kapowsin shooting.
GRAHAM, WA - Pierce County deputies have arrested a second suspect in the Graham-Kapowsin High School shooting Tuesday, but a third suspect is still outstanding. Two students were wounded Tuesday after a shooting outside the high school. Both victims were taken to Tacoma General for treatment and are expected to survive.
Pierce County Sheriff spokesman Ed Troyer told the News Tribune the shooting happened at the scene of what was supposed to be a fist fight. As the car with the three suspects in it drove from the scene, someone inside opened fire on the crowd gathered to watch the fight.
The third suspect - pictured above - is wanted by police for his alleged role in the shooting.
