Federal Way (Washington): Gunfire erupted at an apartment complex in a city south of Seattle and five people were shot to death, including a suspect who was killed by arriving officers, police said early on Monday.
Officers responding to an emergency call on Sunday night at the apartments in Federal Way encountered a chaotic scene, with bullets flying. “When officers arrived there were still shots being fired,” said police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.
They found two injured men in a parking lot. One of the men reached for a gun as police moved in to assist the two, she said. At that point, officers opened fire. The suspect died but police said it wasn’t clear if it was from their gunfire. The other man on the ground and a third man in the parking lot were found dead. In a search of the complex, a fourth man was found dead in one apartment and a slain woman in another.
There was no word on what set off the shooting. AP
