A man in his mid-40s was in critical condition after being shot Thursday in the Parkland area.
Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said the man was shot about 6:30 p.m. in the 11400 block of Eighth Avenue Court South. It appeared to be a robbery or drug deal gone bad, Troyer said. Deputies believe the victim, who has a criminal history, was targeted, Troyer said.
The shooter is described as a 6-foot, 200-pound black male with braided hair who was wearing black-and-white clothing. He left the scene in a black mid-1990s Cadillac.
The victim was being treated at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma.
