TACOMA -- A female teacher was shot and killed at Birney Elementary school Friday morning.
The shooting happened outside the schoole at 1202 S. 76th St. just before 8 a.m., which was before students arrived for the day.
Mark Fulghum with Tacoma police says the shooter and the victim knew each other, and the shooting was domestic-violence related.
The Tacoma School District would only say the teacher was a special-education teacher.
After the shooting, the gunman fled, but Pierce County Sheriff's deputies tracked him down at 166th and Canyon Road East. Fulghum says shots were fired and the suspect was in custody.

OMG, that’s 5 minutes from where I work.
Caught him at 166th and Canyon...hmmmm...I believe that’s right where the local gun shooting range is! Cops would’ve had a lot of backup if there was a manhunt in that area! LOL!
Yah, they’ve been covering this all morning on the local radio. It happened early, before any kids were at the school.
Sounds like shooter is dead.
Impossible! Guns are not allowed in a school zone.
Quiet neighborhood, except for the airplane that crashed in my neighbors back yard.
Teacher shot at school, where no guns are allowed.
Perp stopped by police, who don’t have to live by the stupid rules that prevent people from having guns to defend themselves.
This is just too sad. Prayers for her family.
RIP.
