Juvenile shooter kills 5, including 3 kids, in Washington state, authorities say

The incident occurred in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle, and a suspect is in custody, the King County Sheriff's Office said.

Five people, including three children, were killed Monday in a Washington state shooting, and a juvenile suspect was taken into custody, authorities said.

Deputies responded shortly before 5 a.m. to reports of a shooting at a home in the Lake Alice Road neighborhood in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle, the King County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The sheriff's office said three children and two adults were killed. A juvenile suspect was in custody. It was unclear what relationship, if any, there was between the suspect and the victims, the sheriff's office said.

A person in their mid-teens, the sheriff's office said, was hospitalized.

The suspect was expected to be booked into jail later on Monday. The juvenile could face charges of first-degree or second-degree murder, the sheriff's office said.
