A 42-year-old Washington man is in custody in connection with the shooting of seven people at the casino owned by the Muckleshoot Tribe.
The man allegedly went to Club Galaxy at the Muckleshoot Casino to look for his estranged wife. He opened fire after he found her on the dance floor, injuring the woman, her sister and a male friend.
The man also shot into the crowd, authorities said, injuring four other women at the club. Four remain hospitalized while three others were reportedly treated and released.
