TACOMA, WA – A deadly fire erupted inside a Tacoma, Washington indoor gun range Sunday evening, leaving one person dead and another hospitalized. As flames tore through the building, ammunition ignited, creating a dangerous scene for firefighters rushing to save lives.

Chaos Unfolds as Fire Breaks Out

Tacoma Fire Department crews raced to the Bull’s Eye Indoor Pistol Range on Puyallup Avenue just after 6:15 p.m.

The range was open at the time, and an employee helped evacuate some people before the fire intensified, officials said.

Firefighters entered the burning structure but faced immediate danger.

“There’s ammunition in the building, so of course when our crews immediately went in to try and find the victims, there was ammunition going off in the fire,” TFD spokesperson Chelsea Shepherd said.
