Suspect, 4 others dead after stabbing
SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities say a man fatally stabbed four people before being shot by a sheriff’s deputy outside a home northwest of Tacoma, Washington, on Tuesday. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says deputies initially responded to reports that a 32-year-old man was violating a no-contact order. While en route, the sheriff’s office says additional reports came in that the man was stabbing people. A spokesperson for the Pierce County Force Investigation Team says the first deputy arrived outside the home on the Key Peninsula within about three minutes and shot the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Three of the stabbing victims were dead at the scene and another died while being taken to a hospital.
