Holy fucking shit. West Seattle just can’t catch a break.The SPD blotter reports that officers found a wounded woman on the sidewalk and four dead bodies in a house–“two women in their late teens, a man in his 30?s, and a woman in her 50?s”–on SW Roxbury after responding to a 911 call.Police spoke to the husband of the woman in her 50’s, who stated that she shot herself.Two handguns were recovered by police, and no motive is known right now. I’ll update this post as more information becomes available.Update 4:33 pm: The West Seattle blog reports from the police briefing: the two handguns were not stolen, and the alleged killer, who is 60 years old, did not have a permit. The survivor who was transported to Harborview earlier is expected to live.More details and a statement from the family are available here.
