A 15-year-old boy was apprehended on Monday after five people were found dead at a home near Seattle , Washington.
According to a report by the New York Times, the victims included two adults and three minors, who Sheriff Mike Mellis described as appearing to be "young teenagers." The identities and exact ages of the deceased were not disclosed.
Law enforcement received multiple emergency calls regarding a disturbance involving gunfire at a residence in Fall City , an unincorporated area approximately 25 miles east of Seattle. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found and took into custody a young man. Another teenager, who shared the residence with the suspect, was transported to the hospital with injuries to at least two parts of the body.
Although the relationship between the two teenagers and the victims was not specified, Sheriff Mellis said, "It does appear to be that this is a family incident, clearly a domestic violence incident."
Sheriff Mellis noted that there was no significant confrontation during the arrest, and said , "What had happened, had happened. It was done."
The cause of death was attributed to firearm use, but the medical examiner had not yet publicly released the official cause or identified the victims, the New York Times reported.
The teenage suspect was booked at the juvenile detention facility in King County, and no additional arrests were anticipated. He was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon.
