Last night, there was a felony domestic violence assault by a husband against his wife in their home in the 15300 block of Daffodil St Ct E, resulting in a call to 911 by the wife. When officers arrived, they were able to remove the wife to safety and the husband barricaded himself alone inside the house with a handgun. As Metro SWAT was setting up containment on the house and attempting to establish contact between the negotiator and the husband, a gunshot was heard from inside the house. Sumner PD obtained a search warrant to search the house and found the husband deceased.
Sadly, domestic violence can and does happen in every community, including ours. If you or someone you know is a victim, please learn more about resources and tools for help:

We have partnered with Flock Safety to enhance community safety through license plate reading cameras. These cameras capture objective evidence—like vehicle make, color, and license plate—to help solve crimes. They do **not** record faces or personal details, and the data is automatically deleted after a set period. This transparency initiative is designed to protect citizens’ privacy while supporting law enforcement efforts to keep Sumner safe. Visit Sumner WA PD’s Flock Transparency Page https://transparency.flocksafety.com/sumner-wa-pd to learn more!
