Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office carried out the investigation after reports surfaced of Harris’ close relationship with elements of Tacoma Police , the responding department to the shooting. The union, which represents TPD, has endorsed Harris’ run for office, and the council candidate has purchased suite tickets to the Tacoma Rainiers minor league baseball games for the department in the past.
Harris then fired “multiple rounds at the driver’s windshield,” according to the PCPA. The council candidate told investigators that he was positioned in front of concrete blocks that obstructed his potential escape, and the speed of the approaching vehicle was such that he feared for his life.Pierce County Council candidate defends decision to fire gun at suspected car thief
