Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: No Info
Location:   Tacoma,   Pierce County, WA   USA   Wed. Nov. 30, 2016
Summary: Police Officer Jake Gutierrez was shot and killed after responding to a domestic disturbance call at a home on the 400 block of East 52nd Street.

Around 4 p.m. Wednesday Animal Control Officers were called to a home for a report of an injured dog. They came across the suspect's wife, who had been locked out of the home. Animal control then called for backup from Tacoma Police and Gutierrez responded along with his partner.

The two officers entered the home with the help of the homeowner(landlord). Gutierrez and his partner went upstairs, which is where Gutierrez was shot multiple times. His partner returned fire then helped get the Gutierrez and the suspect's wife out of the house.

The subject barricaded himself inside the home and used two young children as human shields for several hours.

SWAT moved into the home around 3:30 a.m., but it was a Pierce County sheriff's deputy outside the home who shot and killed the suspect through a bedroom window.

Gutierrez had been transported immediately to Tacoma General Hospital for surgery. Police announced his death around 9 p.m.
