Quadruple Mass Shooting Near Seattle, Neighborhood On Lockdown (DETAILS)
By Rori Park -
June 22, 2016
Dispatchers in Lacey, Washington received a 911 call on Wednesday morning from a man saying he had been shot and that his friends were dead, according to Komo News.
The Thurston County Sheriffs Office eventually tracked the location of the man to the 500 block of Dutterow Road, where authorities found him wounded on the ground.
Upon arriving at the scene, authorities rushed the man to the hospital. Komo News later spoke to the hospital and found that the man was in surgery but was in stable condition.
After searching the premises where the shooting took place, deputies found the bodies of two men and a woman who were shot inside of a travel trailer, chief Dave Pearsall told Komo News.
Pearsall couldnt provide any further information pertaining to the incident, but authorities are investigating details regarding the motive for the shooting and potential suspects.

(3,706 posts)Gun violence is a public health issue
Gun violence is carried by gun wielders
Until our leaders figure out what is going on in this country, gun wielders need to be profiled and quarantined,
until shown that they are not a public health risk
Uncomfortable truth, many causes of gun violence...
...but only one constant, the wielder of the gun!
Perhaps the wielder of the gun...
...didn't know it was loaded
...didn't expect the bullet to go through the wall
...thought the backyard shooting range was safe
...was radicalized by ISIS
...never expected the kids to find it
...was radicalized by Christian LGBT hate sermons
...woke from a PTSD dream to find a dead wife
...was radicalized by racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynist, conspiracy deluded neighbors
...was mentally unbalanced
...was jaded by onscreen violence and sought a better 'rush'
...was radicalized by NRAterrorist leaders
...needed a bigger ego
...needed to blow out own ego's brains
WHATEVER- the gun is the constant
The wielders change
Gun love is constant

(53,339 posts)LACEY, Wash. -- Three people are dead and a fourth person was wounded in a shooting near Lacey that might have happened several hours before it was reported to police.
Investigators later said they found a half pound of methamphetamine in the travel trailer where the bodies were found.
...
The slain victims are a 31-year-old woman from Lacey, a 28-year-old man from Olympia and a 34-year-old man from Elma. A 30-year-old Olympia man is in the hospital. He is reported to be out of surgery and in stable condition.
...
In the meantime, as investigators try to sort out whether the gunman is still on the loose or among the victims, they're asking for help from the public.

Do I really need a tag?
I don't know the way some gun owners talk about their guns.

(2,682 posts)Lacey is not near Seattle. Lacey is about 60 miles south. This title implies that this incident is in a neighborhood in Seattle.
