A 21-year-old Bainbridge Island man is hospitalized after his girlfriend’s estranged husband shot him following a high-speed chase and collision Oct. 12.

A Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post also says:

The victim and his 31-year-old girlfriend were near the Kitsap County Fairgrounds in Bremerton around 5:30 p.m. The woman was meeting her husband so he could pick up the couple’s 8-year-old son after a visit. The woman dropped her boyfriend off at the fairgrounds first so he would not be present at the exchange, and then dropped her son off with his father.

When the woman drove back to pick up her boyfriend, her husband drove by and shot at the couple. The two tried to drive away, but the husband pursued them, continuing to shoot at their vehicle.

While traveling northbound on Nels Nelson Road, the husband sped past the couple, made a U-turn, and rammed into their vehicle head-on. The husband and the boyfriend got out of the vehicles and started yelling at each other.

That’s when the husband pulled out a .22-caliber handgun and shot the boyfriend in the abdomen.

The wife got out of the vehicle, and the three of them began fighting in the street. The gun fell to the ground during the scuffle and was ultimately kicked out of the way and guarded by a witness. The two men ended up fighting in a ditch. A Kitsap deputy arrived to find the boyfriend holding the husband down in a headlock.

The boyfriend was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The 40-year-old husband was transported to St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale from a blow to the head. He was later transferred to the Kitsap jail in Port Orchard, where he was booked on suspicion of first-degree assault and drive-by shooting. He is being held without bail.

The woman and child were not injured.
