SEATTLE - Six young people were shot to death early Saturday at a home, apparently at a party, and the alleged gunman committed suicide when confronted by police, authorities said.
Three other victims were taken to a hospital after the shootings in the Capitol Hill neighborhood east of downtown, said police spokesman Rich Pruitt. Two of the three were in critical condition, he said.
"It's one of the largest crime scenes the city has ever had," said Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske.
He said the victims' bodies were found in several places in the house.
Police believe the shooting happened at a party and the dead were all in their early 20s, authorities said. At least a dozen other people were in the house at the time, officials said.
Kerlikowske said an officer in the neighborhood heard shots fired at just after 7 a.m. When Officer Steve Leonard reached the scene, he found one person staggering out of the house with a gunshot wound.
The officer confronted another man who emerged with a shotgun, telling him several times to put the weapon down, Kerlikowske said. The man turned the gun on himself and fired a fatal shot, he said.
Officers then found the other victims inside the home, he said.
They did not believe the gunman lived in the area.
Kerlikowske said police found a variety of other guns at and near the scene.
William Lowe, 59, who lives across the street, said he heard six shots shortly after his alarm went off and looked out in time to see people scattering from the home, some with faces painted and hair dyed.
Lowe said he saw the man with the shotgun put the barrel in his mouth and fire.
Aaron Hoyle, 25, of Renton, said about five people in or around their 20s lived in the house and that some were promoters of warehouse parties. Hoyle hadn't been to the home in about three months, but heard about the shooting on the news and came to see if his friends were all right. By late morning, he still didn't know.
This being Capitol Hill, the Gay-to of Seattle.

Drugs and idiots don't mix well.

What's a "warehouse party"?
That's a little too early in the morning to be late at night. Party's over.
A rave. Drugs have been known to be seen at them on rare occasions.
Nature selection at work here.
use drugs you forfeit the game of life.
I moved to Alaska for a better way of life but sadly we are in the middle of a meth crisis, almost everyday another one is found.
Not sure about a warehouse party - is this the same thing as an ecstasy rave?
My son hangs out w/a bunch of young people (son is Skywalk, to whom the post was addressed) and as a mother, it is my duty to remind him of the harm that can come to kids who don't mind their parents. : )
Probably a "Rave" with techno music and drugs...drugs, alcohol, and guns are probably not a good mix.
Any good ju-ju you can share?

Never give a guy oregano when he's expecting BC bud.
warehouse party = rave
I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but I imagine that a rave without drugs is a very rare animal indeed.
