A domestic violence incident at a residence in a calm Washington state neighborhood resulted in the deaths of three children and two adults, as well as the arrest of a teenager, according to authorities.
Deputies responded to multiple 911 calls on Monday morning reporting gunfire near Fall City, roughly 25 miles east of Seattle, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office reported that five persons were found deceased, including three children and two adults. One victim, a child, survived and was taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries, according to authorities.
A 15-year-old kid has been detained in connection with the incident, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office reported that all of the victims looked to be from the same family.

Mike Mellis, a King County sheriff’s officer, described the case as a “tragic, domestic violence situation” with a firearms-related homicide investigation.
Mellis said the victims’ area is small, peaceful, and rarely sees police activity, and that the family has no history with the sheriff’s office.
A neighbor, Cameron Doerrer told KOMO, “It’s just unfathomable. The younger kids, especially, [were] the sweetest children. So polite.”
