Two parents slain in a shooting that left five people dead at a home near Seattle have been identified and prosecutors are weighing possible charges against the 15-year-old suspected of carrying out the rampage.
Mark and Sarah Humiston were identified as two of the victims who died, according to an employer and multiple news outlets. Three of their children were killed in the attack. The suspect and the victims, including an 11-year-old who was injured in the shooting, are related, officials have said.
Law enforcement responded to a home in Fall City, a leafy suburb 25 miles outside Seattle, at about 5 a.m. Monday after multiple reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered five people, including two adults and three young teenagers, dead.
The King County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 15-year-old at the scene and emergency personnel rushed an injured teenager to the hospital.
Mark Mellis, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said at a Monday news conference that the incident involved “family” and “domestic violence.”
The 11-year-old girl injured in the shooting was released from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Susan Gregg, a hospital spokesperson, told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
