A man in his 20s was shot in the stomach early Sunday morning after a man he was fighting with pulled a gun during a brawl, according to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting victim was taken to an area hospital where he underwent surgery, Sgt. Carla Carter said Sunday.
About 5 a.m. Sunday, the victim and suspect, and possibly other men, met at an undisclosed neighborhood park in the 3200 block of Red Fern Drive Northwest, which is northeast of The Evergreen State College. They were unhappy about something posted on Facebook. A fight ensued, followed by the shooting.
Carter said late Sunday that two men were arrested on suspicion of first-degree assault, and that they were looking for a few more people.
