A woman shot twice during an altercation at an Olympia area trailer park was in satisfactory condition on Tuesday, according to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where she was treated.

The trailer park manager allegedly shot the woman, 45, after she confronted him with a stick Thursday afternoon at the park in the 300 block of Devoe Street Northeast.

Earlier that same day she had broken windows at the trailer park, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.

Once the Sheriff’s Office investigation is complete, which will include interviewing the woman, their work will be turned over to the Thurston County Prosecutor’s Office, Lt. Ray Brady said.

“It appears to be a case of self-defense,” he said Tuesday, “but our investigation is to find all the details.”

After the woman was shot, she was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital before being taken to Harborview.
