Bystander fatally shoots Washington state gunman

TUMWATER, Washington — A gunman injured a teen and shot a man in a pair of carjacking attempts Sunday, before being killed by a bystander outside a Washington state Walmart store.

The incident at the Walmart in Tumwater, near Olympia, happened about 5 p.m.

A witness told KOMO-TV that people were in line when they heard gunfire in the store. The armed suspect was identified Monday night as Tim Day, 44, of McCleary, Washington.

Tumwater Police Department spokeswoman Laura Wohl said it is unclear whether the gunman was ever inside the store or if shots were fired inside, the Olympian reported .

Wohl said a man was shot when the gunman tried to carjack his vehicle.

Two shoppers in the store who were legally carrying firearms ran to the parking lot after hearing the gunshots. Police said a 47-year-old man from Oakville, Washington, shot Day as he tried to carjack another driver.

Police are investigating four scenes connected with the shooting.

The chain of events began with a report of a drunken driver but none was found. Police then responded to reports of shots nearby, Wohl said, and learned that a man had tried to carjack two vehicles. A 16-year-old girl was injured in the carjacking attempt. The gunman then went to Walmart, Wohl said.
