The Washington State Patrol was involved in a shooting Friday after a man reportedly carjacked a semi-trailer, rolled it on Interstate 5 and then refused to exit the vehicle, closing the interstate in both directions in Olympia.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Robert Reyer said on Twitter that southbound I-5 was blocked at Martin Way around 2 p.m. because of a pedestrian who carjacked the truck and then rolled it.
Reyer later said the person refused to exit the cab of the truck and that negotiations were ongoing.
