Officials with the King County Sheriff’s Office said another teenager who had been injured went to a Seattle hospital. They said the teenager and the teen in custody both live at the home where the shooting happened, but did not know the relationships between those teens and the five people killed. 

“I just don’t know the relationships, so I’m going to withhold confirming any relationships, but it does appear to be that this is a family incident,” Deputy Mike Mellis told reporters Monday. “Clearly, a domestic violence incident that involves not only a young man — who’s now in significant trouble — and it involves firearms. Young men and firearms.” 

A neighbor told Seattle news station KING TV a couple lived in the home with their five children.
