Violent: Five shootings reported in less than 24 hours
continued from page 1
Monday’s briefing. “It was definitely
a targeted event from people who we
presume probably know each other.
That was immediately followed by two
drive-by shootings in the city that were
confirmed and a third one that was re-
ported but not necessarily confirmed by
evidence.”
Adams said the city asked the Sher-
ii't’s Office to assist with the homicide
and drive—by shooting investigations.
Adams also noted a disturbance in
the Dayton trails area involving an al-
tercation between two people, and a fire-
arm was discharged in a house. The bul-
let went througb the floor of the house

son Dracobly told the Journal the in—
jured person is OK and the suspect was
taken into custody.
The Journal called Shelton Police
four times and emailed chief Carole
Beason once for more information but
did not receive a response.
On Sunday, a call came in at 8:16
a.m. regarding a man who had been shot
in the leg. The caller stated someone
shot her boyfriend near Larson Boule-
vard in Belfair, according to the Mason
County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s
Office later identified in a social media
post the suspect as Nathan Fouts. The
post stated Fouts is a 33-year~old man

oneqoaliflers. 5 store tomatoes
about 5-foot—8, 175 pounds with dark
hair. He was not reported in custody as
of the Journal’s press time.
The Victim was taken to the hospital
and treated for injuries.
“This was a disturbance, an alterca—
tion between two people who knew each
other and a fight ensued and a shooting
occurred, struck one person in the leg,”
Adams said. “That person is being treat—
ed as well. It’s a combination of a whole
bunch of things going on. The city is hav-
ing some definite manpower issues right
now as a lot of law enforcement agencies
are so they reached out to us to ask us to
give them a hand so our detectives were
out pretty much all weekend between
helping the city in their investigations
as well as doing our investigations.”
Fouts is believed to be armed and
may still be in Belfair or possibly
Bremerton, according to Dracobly. The
Sheriffs Office is investigating the inci—
dent and asks whether anyone has in-
formation or sees him, do not approach
him and call 911.
Dracobly said the weekend was ex-
tremely manpower intensive and put a
lot of folks into overtime.
“Between the shootings in the city
and shooting in Dayton and then the
next morning in Belfair, in the 12-hour
period, we responded to six different
shootings,” Dracobly said. “I don’t re-
member a weekend like this ever and
I’ve been here for 30-plus years.”
