We have official word this afternoon regarding an alert we fist posted on our Facebook Page regarding a possible shooting near Montesano just after midnight this morning, August 16th, 2023. 

According to the informational release no suspects are being looked for, the investigation continues. 

The WSP report says that the collision occurred 11:53 AM when the teen was eastbound on SR 8 at milepost 3 in late 2, the passing late when he failed to negotiate the curve and went into the media, striking the cable barrier. 
The teen was riding a 2014 Green Kawasaki EX300
The teen was taken to Harborview Medical Center for his injuries.  It is not mentioned if he was traveling with an adult or any other motorcyclists. 

At 5:11 Friday morning, Pacific County 911 Dispatch received a call about a female who had entered a home in the Surfside area and attempted to take a child. The alleged kidnapping was stopped by a family member in the house. 

The suspect then went back to their residence in the same neighborhood where a Pacific County Sheriff's Sergeant attempted contacting her. The suspect refused to answer the door or speak to the Sergeant. A search warrant was applied for and granted. Due to reports of a firearm being carried by the suspect, the search warrant was considered higher risk. 

Shortly before 2:00 p.m., the Pacific County Sheriff's Office executed the warrant on the residence and took the suspect into custody without incident. The suspect was transported to a local hospital for clearance to be booked into the Jail for the charges of Kidnapping and Residential Burglary.
