A 15-year-old boy accused of killing his parents and three siblings at their Washington state home shot them and then called police to falsely claim that his brother committed the slayings, according to court documents.
The 15-year-old, whom NBC News is not naming because of his age, was charged Thursday with five counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the slayings Monday morning in Fall City.
Two adults and three children — 7, 9 and 13 years old — were found dead shortly before 5 a.m. Monday after a shooting was reported at a home in the Lake Alice Road neighborhood in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle. The medical examiner's office identified them as Mark Humiston, 43, Sarah Humiston, 42, and their children Katheryn, 7, Joshua, 9, and Benjamin, 13. The manner of death is listed as homicide.
An 11-year-old sister who was shot but survived by playing dead managed to escape through a window and went to a neighbor’s home, a King County sheriff’s detective wrote in an affidavit.
She was hospitalized and has been discharged, a spokesperson for Harborview Medical Center in Seattle said Thursday.
