FIFE, Wash. — Two people are in the hospital in critical condition, and one person has been arrested following a shooting at a Fife motel.
The police department says both are in critical condition.
It all started a little after 1 a.m.

The chief said there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Police are still investigating what led up to the shooting.
