Neighbors say they are frustrated by the violence and criminal activity happening near their homes, and in this case, not too far from an elementary school, too.Baca lives on South 36th Street in Tacoma, and has been seeing more violence not only in his neighborhood, but around town."I think everybody needs to get their ears open, eyes open and start calling more, but, you know, if you call police aren't going to show up," he said.
Tacoma police said at about 11:55 p.m. Saturday, someone shot into a house in the 1700 block of South 36th Street several times.Investigators told FOX 13 News they believe the home was targeted. "It's been a quiet neighborhood until recently. This last week, you had SWAT next door here -- which I couldn't believe -- and now the neighbor says there's a shooting down the street and then, last night, there was a shooting which we were out last night, so I didn't hear nothing and it so, it's yeah, it's gotten crazy," Baca said.Some people said the bullets were coming from the parking lot of Reed Elementary School across the street.
A 44-year-old woman who was inside the house was hit, according to police, with a bullet striking her in the thigh.Just hours earlier at about 8:50 p.m., Tacoma police found a woman shot to death in the 8800 block of South Hosmer Street.Her death is being considered a homicide by TPD."You know, I just want to live in peace and do my job, go to work, and love my wife and be happy, but you know, it's kind of hard nowadays," he said.
