Teen shows up at Providence St. Peter with gunshot wound, but won’t talk to deputies

An 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his lower left leg showed up at Providence St. Peter Hospital Monday night, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

The hospital notified law enforcement about 9:30 p.m., Lt. Ray Brady said. However, the man and his family have not cooperated with the investigation, he said.

The Sheriff’s Office isn’t clear on where the shooting took place, but it may have been in the Tanglewilde area of the county, Brady said. The gunshot wound also could have been self-inflicted, he said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Howard Reynolds at howard.reynolds@co.thurston.wa.us.
