On Thursday, a 15-year-old son was accused of killing his parents and three of his relatives.
The Seattle Times typically does n’t identify minor suspects until they are charged as adults.
The boy was killed early on Monday morning at his home house north of Fall City and injured his sister, who was 11 years old, in their house, according to King County prosecutor’s charges. He was also charged with five counts of first-degree aggravated murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder.
According to records filed in King County Superior Court on Thursday, the 15-year-old allegedly used his father’s Glock handgun during the deaths.
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the defendant’s of Monday’s mass shooting as 43-year-old Mark Humiston and 42-year-old Sarah Humiston and their babies: Katheryn Humiston, 7, Joshua Humiston, 9, and Benjamin Humiston, 13.
They all died from gunshot wounds, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office.
According to charging documents, the son called 911 and reported his 13-year-old nephew killed the family and then killed himself. During that 911 call, a cousin officially called and said the surviving 11-year-old family ran to the neighbor’s home, rang the doorbell constantly, and told the cousin her household members had been shot.
The 11-year-old woman told the neighbor she heard gunshots and screaming, next her 15-year-old nephew shot at her, according to costs. She informed the neighbor that she had played useless.
When the 15-year-old was detained in the road of King County Sheriff’s Office representatives, five people were discovered dead inside the house.
According to the charging records, the 15-year-old was contacted by an attorney who informed detectives that he would not talk with them.
