According to the police chief Mylett, officers responded to 911 calls in which “A lot of chaos was heard in the background.” Upon arriving at the scene, police found a deceased man in the third-floor lobby, and another critically wounded nearby, who later succumbed to death at the scene.
The third male with critical injuries was admitted to Harborview Medical Center, and a woman with fewer casualties was brought to Overlake Medical Center.
The reason behind the incident and the suspects are not clear yet, but one thing is for sure that people at the housewarming party knew each other well. This was a regular house party and no clue “who started this, and who did this,” Mylett said.
