Rolling gang shootout murder

TACOMA, Wash. - Police who were following a swerving car found the driver dead and the passenger with a bullet wound after a gun battle early Sunday in Tacoma.

The incident began when officers received a 911 call about shots fired in south Tacoma.

Tacoma police said people in at least two cars were shooting at each other about 4 a.m. on Sunday. Witnesses later said they saw two cars leave the scene of the shooting.

Police responded, and an officer saw a car swerving down a road near the scene, then stop at a dead end in the 7400 block of South Oakes Street.

When the officer checked inside the vehicle, he made a grisly discovery - the driver was dead and the passenger had a bullet wound.

The shooter remains at large.

Several people are being interviewed as part of the investigation, but no suspects are in custody.
