A popular downtown Tacoma arcade temporarily closed after a shooting that left at least one person injured.
On Saturday, just before 1 a.m., Tacoma police received a call that shots were fired on Pacific Avenue.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found two male victims, one was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
As of Thursday, no arrests have been made.
The investigation is still ongoing.
The owner of Dorky’s Arcade declined to talk on camera but confirmed the shooting took place at his business.
KIRO 7 spoke with Marshall Jett, who owns APIZZA Little Italy across the street from Dorky’s Arcade. Jett is friends with one of the victims.
“I know the individual. He’s a friend of mine, who was unfortunately shot,” he said. “It’s very heartbreaking that they’re temporarily closed. One of the employees was shot. That could’ve been any of my team members.”
Workers in the neighborhood told KIRO 7 News that the recent shooting is part of a bigger issue in the area.
At the scene, KIRO 7 saw a nearby metal pole pierced by bullets, which two workers said happened just days before the arcade shooting.
