Here are the details regarding the incident reported in the news article:
Summary of the IncidentOn the afternoon of August 28, 2022, Tacoma police officers were dispatched to a reported domestic violence assault near South 67th and South Monroe streets in Tacoma, Washington.
Initial Call: A 911 caller stated he had been assaulted by his uncle, 40-year-old Peter Collins. The caller warned dispatchers that Collins had access to several firearms inside the residence and might attempt to shoot at responding officers, stating he would not go back to jail.
The Confrontation: When officers arrived and attempted to contact Collins, he refused to cooperate and retreated into the house. Shortly after 2:55 p.m., Collins emerged and began firing at officers with a semi-automatic rifle. He fired approximately 15 rounds at officers across several minutes, retreating briefly to reload before running down the street heavily armed with rifles, handguns, and ammunition.
The Shooting: As Collins fled onto South Madison Street while continuing to fire, responding officers engaged him. Officer Christopher Munn returned fire with a rifle, striking Collins in the chest. Following that shot, Collins suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Officers administered first aid, but he died at the scene.
Casualties & Aftermath:
No police officers or bystanders were injured during the shootout.
The Pierce County Force Investigation Team (PCFIT) took over the independent investigation into the use of deadly force, and the involved officers were placed on standard paid administrative leave pending review.
