Five people, including three children, were killed in a shooting in Washington state, with a juvenile suspect taken into custody. The incident occurred in the Lake Alice Road neighborhood in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle. The King County Sheriff’s Office reported that three children and two adults were killed, with a teenager also hospitalized. The suspect, who could face first or second-degree murder charges, was expected to be booked into jail on Monday. It is unclear what the relationship was between the suspect and the victims. The sheriff’s office noted that there was no prior police activity at the residence where the shooting occurred. The children involved were not students in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, but counselors were made available for those who need support. Superintendent Dan Schlotfeldt acknowledged the potential impact the tragedy could have on students and the community.
