One woman was killed and a man wounded in a drive-by shooting at an east Tacoma intersection.

Police spokesman Mark Fulghum says the man told officers there was no confrontation before a white minivan pulled alongside their car about 10 p.m. Sunday and shots were fired.

"There's nothing to indicate that anybody in either vehicle knew the other," said Fulghum.

The van sped away. The woman who was driving, died at the scene at East 64th Street and Portland Avenue. The man was treated at a hospital for a wounded arm.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reports officers found the minivan abandoned a short time later a mile or two from the scene. It had been reported stolen.

    Gang related.
    Random shooting of an innocent for street cred for some punk banger. This will be tough to solve, but I hope the police catch a break, and waste them.

    A punk like that
    thinks he / she is brave...but nothing in reality but a little coward. Couldn't even face up to their victim, just hit and run. Poor little cowards, hope they read this. scared little punk cowards, chicken hearted punks.

    BS
    I cant believe that they didnt know eachother. Even gangs dont just shoot random people unless they are involved in a robery. Gang related crimes should be dealt with by hanging or drawn and quartering. Scare these kids into making better decissions.

    I take it you've never heard of a gang initiation.

    If you live in Tacoma
    and you get shot and killed, you should not be surprised.

    What
    What makes you think that they can read, that is a leap that is why they are gang bangers, because the can't read and we owe them something for it. Their moms did not hug them enough

    With a post like that, I wouldn't be complaining about someone else's literacy. It's pretty clear you could use a few refresher courses yourself.

    Random shooting?
    Probably not! Random killings are very rare. Probably someone they knew but are now afraid to say. :(

    Are you in a Gang? Ok just wondering. Yes, I have heard of an initiation, but typically they go take out another gang or rob a store. Gang wars come down to power not just killing.
