Police Looking For Man Who Fired Gunshot After Football Game Saturday At Curtis

are looking for a man whom they suspect fired a gun following a heated semi-pro football game Saturday at .

Police Chief Rusty Wilder says the incident began toward the end of the game between the Tacoma Invaders and the Portland Shine.

The teams are members of the nonprofit Western Washington Football Alliance, and Tacoma has played three games at Curtis since the season started in April.

But Saturday’s game was especially heated and resulted in a few altercations during the game, according to police reports. At the end of the game — a 36-26 loss for Tacoma — a fan allegedly exited the stands, walked onto the east end of the field near the 20-yard-line and fired “a single shot into the air from a unknown type of small-caliber handgun,” witnesses told police.

The suspect is described as a light-skinned black male, 18 years to 22 years old, with black braids or dreadlocks, was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and was possibly a friend or family member of a Tacoma player, according to police reports.

Wilder said authorities are continuing to investigate the case.
