Police in Mason County, Washington, got a call Friday morning from a man saying he had killed four people. Then, after an hours-long standoff, the man is dead and police have five bodies.
The incident began with a call to police in which the man said he had shot two children, a woman, and one other person, the Seattle Times reported. Law enforcement then surrounded a home in Belfair, Washington, about an hour and a half from Seattle.
A standoff — which involved both SWAT officers and negotiators — ensued, the Mason County Sheriff announced. Images from the scene show heavily armed officers staging in a wooded area.
Negotiations lasted about three hours, KING5 reported.
The Mason County Sheriff later announced that the suspect shot himself, and that there were four victims.
The suspect "came outside the house home and shot himself" Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury told reporters.
