An officer heard gunshots near 4 Avenue and Franklin Street late Friday night, leading to multiple detentions and an ongoing investigation in Olympia.
At around 11:07 p.m., an officer in the area saw someone fleeing with a firearm after hearing several gunshots and detained that person along with several others nearby.
