A woman died overnight in Tacoma after shooting herself in the head while playing with a gun, Tacoma police reported.
The 28-year-old woman was intoxicated and playing with a gun inside a home in the 1700 block of East 67th Street about 11:30 p.m. Monday, Tacoma police spokesman Thomas Williams said.
