A Seattle man fatally shot his adult daughter and teenage granddaughter before turning the gun on himself late Monday, police said.
Police said they received a call for help from a 10-year-old boy, who told them his grandfather had waved a handgun at the two victims before shooting them. The boy said his grandfather then turned the gun on himself.
None of the victims were identified, but authorities said the gunman was in his 60s.
The boy who reported the shooting was unharmed, but "shaken up," Assistant Police Chief Nick Metz told reporters at the scene. The child was placed in the care of his extended family. There did not appear to be any other people in the house, Metz said.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said the shooting appeared to be "a family tragedy," before adding that there was no danger to the surrounding neighborhood.
There may be no danger to the neighborhood, but you know what is in jeopardy? - the right to sell guns without a background check. This incident combined with the recent headline-grabbing school shootings should sway any fence-sitters when they go to the polls shortly.
