Nobody was injured in the incident, which took place on 38th between Hunt and 56th streets.

Interviews with the victims and witnesses lead Gig Harbor Police Department investigators to conclude that “this was a targeted attack likely related to an ongoing issue with another group of people from out of the area,” according to information posted on social media by the police department.
