Two people have been arrested related to a six person massacre in Carnation, King County Washington.
The two are described as being "in their late twenties or early thirties".
The victims were members of a single household, all members of the same family. A couple in their fifties, a couple in their thirties, and a six year old girl, a three year old boy.
All died of gunshot wounds.
They were discovered this morning when a coworker went to check on the eldest female, a worker for the post office, who was normally very dependable. Her husband was an engineer at Boeing.
This is awful. Happened right down the road from me.
Say WA? Evergreen State ping
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.
Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
I saw this on Drudge. At first it looks like 6 homicides. We will have to wait and see how this plays out. Not a good thing to happen and during the holidays no less. Just sad.
Arm yourselves.
Pay attention.
Looks like the couple arrested was known to the victims.
Thanks. I was going through the KING5 stuff and it wasn’t as complete as what they’re reporting on the tube itself.
Without even knowing all the circumstances, I say fry them.
There is NO excuse for gunning down children like that.
Period.

I was shocked to hear about this. I used to live in Carnation. Couldn’t quite tell exactly where this happened, but wondered if it was off Tolt Rd. maybe.
And since their saying a postal worker was a victim, I’m wondering if that’s someone from the Carnation post office. Use to pick up my mail every day there.

Arrests made in killing of six near Carnation

any bets on the “ethnicity” of the perps?
Ugh. But that’s usually the case in such, I gather. What a horrible thing.
I’ve heard the woman killed was a rural delivery person and worked out of the Carnation post office.
My son’s best friend was one of the two survivors if the Capitol Hill shootings. I cannot understand what gets into the minds of people who do this kind of thing. And why murder little kids?
From one of the links:
“The suspects were arrested after they apparently showed up at the crime scene while police were there...”
Pathological, to say the least. I’m suspecting teen boys and a random thrill killing, just due to the way things are these days.
I could be wrong, but either way six people, including two little kids, are dead.
Prayers up.
My initial theory would be that the 6 year old would have known one or more of the killers. Other than that, pure meaness.
Put me down for same as the victims, whatever that might be.
I think most of those at Carnation Post office have changed since I lived there, but I don’t know. That’s an impact on the whole community though.
Wasn't one of the arrestees a 29 y.o. woman, or was I reading the story too quickly?
