A man died early Monday morning in South Hill after deputies from the Pierce County sheriff’s office reported that shots were fired while they tried to talk to him, police say.

The office did not say who fired the shots. Deputies had tried to speak with the man after they “established probable cause for felony harassment,” the office said in a blotter post.

A person had reported a suspicious vehicle outside their home on the 8500 block of 156th Street Court East and that a man in the vehicle had fired a shot, according to the sheriff’s office. When deputies arrived around 2 a.m., they found the man sleeping inside the vehicle.
