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.
