Gunfire and mayhem continue to plague Tacoma; four people were shot Sunday night in what police described as “a neighborhood dispute” in the 3300 block of South Asotin Street in the city’s Lincoln District, according to a brief statement posted online.

Police responded to dispatch calls at 9:08 p.m., said police spokesperson Wendy Haddow. Four people, all adults, were shot. Their injuries are not life-threatening, Haddow said.

The still-evolving incident led to a K9 track. Police were still investigating shortly before midnight. No other information was immediately available.

As of Monday morning, the police had not yet made an arrest, Haddow confirmed. Police did not locate a suspect with K9 tracking overnight, she said, but the investigation is ongoing.

All four people were in stable condition on Monday.

The Lincoln District shooting followed an earlier drive-by shooting Sunday on South Tacoma Way, which is also under active investigation.
