Murder - suicide in Shoreline home

A man and woman died Saturday in a Shoreline home in a suspected murder-suicide.

According to The Seattle Times,

A woman called 911 just before 9am to report hearing two shots fired in her Shoreline home, in the 500 block of Northeast 175th Street, said Sgt. Kathleen Larson of the King County Sheriff’s Office. The woman lived with her son, his wife and their 2-year-old child, Larson said. 

The woman told police she went downstairs after hearing the shots, and then saw her daughter-in-law on the floor, where she appeared to have been shot. 

Officers took the grandmother and child safely out of the home, and found the man and woman dead inside, Larson said. 

“At this particular point it looks like it is a murder-suicide,” Larson said.
