Son Is Suspected Shooter In Sammamish Murder-Suicide

SAMMAMISH, WA - A King County Sheriff's spokesperson said Monday that the son is the suspected shooter in a Saturday murder-suicide where three people died. The three people, an adult son and his parents, were found dead of gunshot wounds Saturday night at a home long the 24000 block of Northeast 30th Place.

Sgt. Cindi West said Monday that detectives are waiting for autopsy results and ballistics tests. Police have not established a motive for the killings.

King County deputies went to the home Saturday around 7 p.m. to do a welfare check after one of the residents failed to show up for a scheduled appointment. Through a window, deputies could see the three bodies lying on the floor.

All three died of gunshot wounds to the head, according to police.
