2 killed, 2 deputies wounded in shootout outside Walmart

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- Two people died and two sheriff's deputies were wounded Sunday after a shootout in a Walmart parking lot in Port Orchard.

A third Kitsap County deputy shot and killed the man who unexpectedly opened fire on the deputies, sheriff's spokesman Scott Wilson said. Witnesses say a woman apparently tried to run to the man's aid -- directly into the line of fire -- and was struck.

It's unclear whether the deputies or the gunman shot the woman, who was estimated to be in her late teens. She died at Tacoma General Hospital.
