Teenage boy arrested after 5 found dead inside home

King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Mike Mellis provided an update to a homicide investigation in Fall City on the afternoon of Monday, October 21, 2024.
Investigators said five people were found dead inside a home in Fall City Monday morning after deputies responded to a reported disturbance with gunfire involved.
Mellis said deputies found three school-aged children and two adults dead inside the home - another teenager who lived at the home was also taken to a Seattle hospital for their injuries.
A teenage suspect was taken into custody.
“This is a significant event for the neighborhood," Mellis said. "And I’d call it a significant event for the region.”

[@747fa]

Oh, and when it comes to "God", as a "Catholic", I have a BIG problem with the story concerning Noah. As you well know, "God" told Noah to get his family and two of every animal into the ark/huge boat because he, God, was sending/creating a huge flood to rid the earth of all the wicked people. How "God" determined that all the children, unborn babies and foetuses were responsible for the world's ills at that time and therefore needed to be killed is beyond comprehension and an insult to any logical, practical and responsible humanbeing.

To all the old people (60+) this crap has been happening for ever. It only seems worse because we have the internet. We all have the ability to see whats happening in all corners of the world at all times. Crime isnt necessarily getting worse, its just we can now hear about when it happens. We dont have to rely on what was printed in the news paper.

[@katbones]

No it’s worse.

[@christinepark1398]

@@katbones Well I'm VERY old and I don't think it's worse. Conditions are much worse. It's harder to have a place to live, harder to eat and to get medical care when you need it. The poisons in our food and air and water ate starting to accumulate in our bodies and bring us down. It's not surprising that more and more people feel frantic. Earth itself is being a little frantic. It's a miracle we do as well as we do. This is what it takes for people to ADMIT that there are problems.

[@susieq2806]

Amen😢

[@MsArishiaNishi]

@@katbones No. It's not. People used to go out marauding, or a'viking in Norway. They slaughtered for sport and plundered for riches, raping the girls as the final conquest. It hasn't been that long. Study the classics, the history of civilization. Try the Old Testament too. All that carnage is why Christ came to save us and laid out a new way in the New Testament. The peaceful yesterday you are remembering is childhood, not human history.

The thoughts and prayers aren't working. The government needs to do something about this. A good start would be to acknowledge that there's a massively widespread epidemic of mental health issues in our country, and that based on that, it is not a good idea to have such lax gun laws.

[@alecb8509]

We don't have lax gun laws. Have you even ever tried to purchase a gun?

[@summer-wy8gt]

[@VincentMcmanus.]

@summer-wy8gt not really, especially not compared to Illinois or Hawaii. Besides, even if our laws are "strict" as you say, these crimes show that they're not strict enough.
