Three dead, one hurt in shooting north of Seattle

Police say suspect arrested, but give no further details on circumstances surrounding attack

MUKILTEO, Washington — A shooting has left three people dead and another person hurt in Mukilteo, Washington, about 25 miles north of Seattle, and a suspect has been taken into custody, city officials said Saturday.

The city, on its Twitter feed, said it was sad to report three fatalities in the Chennault neighborhood. It said the injured person was transported to Harborview Medical Center with unknown injuries.

The city tweeted that a suspect had been apprehended in Lewis County.

Officials said 15-20 people were present when the shooting happened during a gathering at the home in Chennault.

Police did not immediately release additional details about the shooting or the suspect.

The city said a reunification center has been established at a local church for parents and relatives.

On Monday two people were killed and 14 others wounded in a shooting at a Florida nightclub. The attack was Florida’s second mass shooting at a nightclub in as many months.

That shooting came just six weeks after an attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that left 49 dead in the worst gun massacre in recent US history.
