2 Adults, 2 Children Dead After Reported Shooting Plus House Fire

Seattle, Washington has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.

They just simply don't work.

A call recently came into the Seattle Police Department from an eleven-year-old boy who claimed a shooting had just taken place at his house.

When officers arrived at the home, they found the entire house ablaze and all entries into the home barricaded shut.

Four people would ultimately perish.

Police responded to a reported shooting near the intersection of N 48th Street and Whitman Ave N. Upon arrival, officers found a residence engulfed in flames. SFD is working to extinguish the fire. Please avoid the area. More information to follow.

The cause of the fire is not yet known. It is also unknown at the time of writing exactly what killed the people inside the house.

Obviously, the tragic events on September 2 led to their death.

Was it the fire, or the gunshots?
