The unidentified victim was taken to Seattle\u2019s Harborview Medical Center. The person\u2019s condition was not immediately available on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Auburn, Wash. Police Department provided few details on the incident, which took place in Auburn sometime before 11 pm.<\/p>\n

But after the arrest of the suspect, the department announced on its Facebook page that there was \u201cno current threat to the public.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unnamed suspect surrendered without any incident at his home, police told KOMO<\/em>, a local TV station.<\/p>\n

The specific location of the shooting was Dogwood Street and Auburn Way South, near the tribal gaming property, local police said.<\/p>\n

\n

Earlier in the night, police advised the public, \u201cPlease stay clear of the area, we will continue to keep you updated.\u201d At one point, search dogs were used by officers as they searched for the suspect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The gaming property is owned and operated by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. It is located about 28 miles south of Seattle.<\/p>\n

Recent Casino Violence<\/h2>\n

Other recent violent incidents took place at tribal gaming properties in Washington State.<\/p>\n

Last week, Washington State\u2019s Yakima County Sheriff\u2019s Office began searching for a suspect after a shooting took place at Legends Casino Hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The suspect was identified as Buddy Byron McKenzie, 41, according to a sheriff\u2019s office Facebook post. He is wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting of a woman in the parking lot at the tribal gaming property.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was identified this week as Lupe Torres, 37, KIMA<\/em>, a local TV station, reported. She was shot in her head and torso. Deputies provided first aid until EMTs arrived.<\/p>\n

She was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Her medical condition was unknown following the shooting, the Yakima Herald-Republic, <\/em>a local newspaper, reported. She remains in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the victim rejected McKenzie following a relationship, apparently leading to the shooting, it was claimed by a poster on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The casino is located on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Toppenish. It is about 162 miles southeast of Seattle.<\/p>\n

Domestic Violence<\/h2>\n

In an unrelated incident last October, a 35-year-old Washington State man was charged with second-degree domestic violence murder for the death of a 33-year-year woman in a parking lot outside the Tulalip Resort Casino<\/a> in Tulalip, Wash.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Nomeneta Tauave got into a fight with his girlfriend, Hana Letoi, on Oct. 23. The couple started a screaming match inside the casino, and it continued outside to their GMC Yukon in the parking lot. Security officers say the altercation turned violent, with Tauave allegedly punching and shaking Letoi violently. She fell out of the SUV as he sped off, eyewitnesses stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
