BREMERTON — A man and woman were detained and being interviewed after a shooting Nov. 14 in the area of Sylvan Way and Spruce Avenue.

“Officers and detectives are still trying to piece together what occurred,” the department reported at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 14 on Twitter. “Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Detective Garland at 360-473-5228.”

Bremerton Police Lt. Randy Plumb said officers believe the man in custody is the shooter. However, Plumb said “several people fled the scene … we’re still trying to determine who they are.”

A man was taken to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton with “non-life-threatening injuries,” Plumb said. The hospital did briefly go into lockdown, which Plumb said “happens periodically during these kinds of incidents.”

Plumb said the initial 911 call came in at about 1:58 p.m. from an uninvolved witness, who was interviewed by Bremerton Police.

“Right now, we’re trying to piece together what exactly happened and why it happened,” Plumb said.

He said Bremerton Police has a pistol and a Taser related to the shooting.

The shooting reportedly occurred near Viewcrest Villages apartments; the site is located east of Wheaton Way, and is a three-minute walk north from View Ridge Elementary School.

Patty Glaser, public information officer for the Bremerton School District, said View Ridge Elementary went into lockdown.

“We have a school resource officer through the Bremerton Police Department,” Glaser said. “When something like this happens, he contacts us and lets us know the school should go into lockdown … which is what we did. It was just a precaution.”

Glaser said that, other than the lockown, the school wasn’t affected. She added that because it was so close to the end of the school day, the precaution was even more important, because children could be walking through the affected area.

She said every school holds a drill a month, covering many scenarios like gas leaks, earthquakes and lockdown drills.

“That’s exactly why we practice those kinds of drills, because you never know what kind of situation is going to happen,” Glaser said.

More information will be posted when updates are available.
