3 Children, 2 Adults Killed, 15-Year-Old Suspect Arrested

THREE children and two adults were killed, following a domestic violence situation at a home in a quiet Washington state neighborhood.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the incident.

King County Sheriff’s Office, in a statement, said deputies responded to multiple 911 calls Monday morning that reported gunshots in Fall City.

Five people were found dead: three children and two adults, the sheriff’s office said.

One victim, a girl, survived and was admitted to a hospital with undisclosed injuries.

According to the sheriff’s office, all of the victims appeared to be members of the same family.

King County sheriff‘s deputy Mike Mellis described the case as a “tragic, domestic violence situation” and a firearms-related homicide investigation.

Mellis also said the victims’ neighborhood is small, quiet and doesn’t normally see police activity, adding that the family had no significant history with the sheriff’s office.
