LAKEBAY, Wash. -- The hunt for armed attackers continues after a group of camouflaged men targeted a "significant marijuana-grow operation" in Lakebay on Key Peninsula.

Pierce County sheriff's deputies found one of the attackers dead when they responded to the 19100 block of Second Street after 8 p.m. Thursday night.

Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer told KIRO 7 that six or seven attackers arrived with the intention of robbing the grow operation, but the property owner fought back.

Deputies say the attackers were armed with shotguns, handguns and knives.

At least 40 to 50 rounds were fired. Deputies expect to find more shell casings when daylight arrives.

By the end of the gunfight, one attacker was dead and at least two others wounded.

Deputies said one of the wounded was the homeowner who fought back.

They said the man found dead at the scene was dressed in camouflage and armed with a shotgun.

They found another injured man walking down Tiedman Road.

Deputies continued searching through the night for three to four other attackers.

A woman believed to be the getaway driver is in custody.

Neighbors were urged to keep their doors locked and all 911 if they saw anything suspicious.

at least people in all camo are easy to spot after the incident.



this is exactly why medical marijuana patients shouldn't have their gun rights taken away. If the residents at that house hadn't fought back theyd all be dead most likely with no suspects in jail.

I'm sure there's more to the story than we're being told yet but its a good lesson for people to be prepared. Either have a safe room to get to or have a firearm readily available.

Hopefully the home/grow op owner will recover and be back at it growing in no time.....

I fucking hate Rippers!!!

Sounding more and more like he was doing more than growing MJ.

The violence of prohibition.

When was the last time there was a shootout over alcohol? Prohibition, that's when.

People dying over a fucking plant. Doesn't make sense does it? Needless to say, I'd defend my property with just as much vigor if not more. :thumbsup: Ex-Jarhead.

Stuff like this makes me sad, but some info i got this morning from someone that works there, two of the wounded men are currently at Tacoma General Hospital, This is just one more reason to leagalize it, and take money out of the hands of people that would do stuff like this
