A man with a gunshot wound to his leg flagged down Federal Way police Wednesday night asking for help.

At 11:58 p.m., he told police his father, Ronald Clarence Simpson, 50, had shot him in the leg in the 2500 block of S. 288th St. The man was in the 29600 block of Pacific Highway South as he spoke to police.

According to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock, the man’s injury is non-life-threatening and he was hospitalized that night.

Details regarding the reason for the dispute are unknown at this time.

“It was believed that the suspect had barricaded himself, armed with a shotgun,” Schrock wrote in an email, noting that SWAT responded to a residence at 2 a.m. Thursday.

Although police were able to detain three individuals, Simpson was not found and the others were released, she said.

Police got a search warrant and entered the home at 4 a.m. SWAT cleared the area just before 6 a.m.

Detectives are currently looking for the Simpson as he is wanted for domestic violence assault in the first degree. He is described as a white male, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, 185 pounds with long dark blond hair and blue eyes. He drives a 1990 black Nissan Altima 4D with a white pinstripe and is known to frequent Federal Way, Algona, Auburn and Kent.
