Five people, including three children, were killed in a shooting in Fall City, Washington. The incident occurred early in the morning at a home in the Lake Alice Road neighborhood. A juvenile suspect was taken into custody, and it is unclear what the relationship was between the suspect and the victims. One person in their mid-teens was hospitalized as a result of the shooting.
The suspect is expected to be booked into jail and could face charges of first-degree or second-degree murder. The sheriff’s office stated that there was no prior police activity at the residence where the shooting took place.
The children involved in the shooting did not attend the local school district, but counselors and support staff will be available to students who may be impacted by the tragic event. Superintendent Dan Schlotfeldt emphasized that support is available for those who need it during this difficult time.
The community is in shock and mourning the loss of five individuals, including three young children, in this senseless act of violence. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the motive behind the shooting.
