A violent confrontation between a 47-year-old woman and her 43-year-old boyfriend ended in tragedy on Saturday morning, resulting in both of their deaths. The Yakima Police Department responded to reports of gunfire at about 10:15 a.m. in the area of Prospect Way and N. 66th Avenue.

POLICE SAY BOTH HAD GUNS

Officers discovered the man dead near the front porch of a home, while the woman, who had been shot multiple times, was quickly transported to Multicare Yakima Memorial Hospital but died of her injuries shortly after arrival. Witnesses reported that the woman had arrived at the residence and confronted the man while armed. According to neighbors, she exited her vehicle carrying a firearm and initiated the encounter by firing several shots at the man.
