Man arrested Tuesday after shots fired into vehicle, home near Lacey schools, police say
A 26-year-old man was taken into custody after firing two guns inside and outside a home near Lacey schools Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Police were dispatched to the 700 block of Enterprise Drive Northeast, just north of Chinook Middle School, about 1:20 p.m., Lacey Police Sgt. Jeremy Knight said, after reports of a man outside a home holding a shotgun.
The man reportedly had been drinking and was despondent, Knight said.
He fired shots from two weapons: a shotgun and a handgun. Vehicles in the driveway were damaged and so was the home, Knight said.
A woman who was inside the home was unharmed, according to police.
Chinook and other schools in the area went into lockout from 1:35 to 1:50 p.m. Tuesday, according to an email the school sent to parents.
“Following guidance from the Lacey Police Department and out of an abundance of caution, our school implemented a lockout procedure due to police activity in the area,” the email reads.
Enterprise Drive, between Midway Drive and Langley Place, remained closed to traffic Tuesday afternoon, Knight said.
