Five people are dead, including a suspect, following a shooting and
standoff with police at a home in Washington state, the Seattle Times
newspaper reported on Friday, citing Mason County authorities.
The
male suspect "apparently came outside the home and shot himself," Mason
County Sheriff Casey Salisbury told the newspaper. "It's a terrible
tragedy."
The newspaper quoted Mason County Sheriff Deputy Chief
Ryan Spurling as saying that a man called law enforcement on Friday
morning and reported that he shot two children, a woman and another
person.
Police surrounded the home near the community of Belfair,
about 35 miles (60 km) west of Seattle, but did not immediately enter
the residence because the man was armed with a handgun, Spurling said,
according to the newspaper.
