A 26-year-old woman was shot and injured early Tuesday morning, Oct. 22 in the parking lot of the Kent Valley Motel, 743 Central Ave. N.

Officers immediately provided emergency medical care until Puget Sound Fire personnel arrived and continued lifesaving medical aid. Medics transported the woman to a local hospital where she was in stable condition, according to police. The suspect, who appears to be known to the victim, fled the scene just prior to the officers arriving.
