Washington state shooting: Five people, including three children, lost their lives on Monday in a shooting in Washington state. Authorities reported that the incident was allegedly carried out by a juvenile suspect who has since been detained.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a call regarding the shooting at approximately 5 a.m. in the Lake Alice Road area of Fall City, located about 25 miles east of Seattle.
The sheriff’s office confirmed that the victims included three children and two adults, with a juvenile suspect already in custody. However, the nature of the relationship, if any, between the suspect and the victims remains unclear.
