A grandfather shot dead his daughter, granddaughter and then
turned the gun on himself on Monday in a Seattle home, authorities said.
Officers received a call at around 8:15 p.m. from a
10-year-old boy who was inside the home and said his grandfather threatened his
mother and sister with a handgun before he shot them, the Seattle Police
Department said.
The boy ran from the home as the man, who police described
as being in his 60s, shot himself. The identities of the shooter and the
victims were not provided, and further details were not immediately available.
The Seattle Times newspaper reported that the granddaughter
was in her teens, citing a police spokesman.
Police said they were investigating.
