UPDATE | Active shooter situation ends, details forthcoming

Officials announced an end to the Eagle Harbor “active shooter” situation just after 1 a.m. Sunday morning.

A statement is expected to be released “shortly.”

Authorities had previously warned residents who live along the shoreline of Eagle Harbor to “shelter in place and avoid windows,” after having announced via city alerts an active shooter situation in Eagle Harbor.

Officials said a person on a boat started firing a gun Saturday sometime around 9 p.m., and that the gunfire was directed at the shoreline and, later, officers who responded to the scene.

The person aboard the boat was believed to be on a sail boat near Washington State Ferries’ vessel repair yard at the eastern end of the harbor, adjacent to the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal.

The shooting was reportedly random, according to those who had heard the sporadic gunfire.

Roughly a dozen bystanders were spirited away from the city dock in Waterfront Park by emergency responders after the shooting began.
