3 Dead After Shooting at House Party in Washington; Man Arrested
Posted 6:42 AM, July 30, 2016, by CNN Wire

A man has been arrested in connection with the shooting deaths of three people at a gathering early Saturday in a small town in Washington state, authorities said.

The shooting, which also left another person wounded, erupted in Mukilteo, which sits on the bank of the Puget Sound about 30 miles north of Seattle.

According to CNN affiliate KOMO, police described the house party as a gathering of young people.

“My granddaughter called us about 20 minutes after midnight that she was hiding; that there had been a shooting and that two of her friends were shot and she was shot at,” Susan Gemmer told KOMO. “We jumped out of bed, got dressed and got in the car as fast as we could.”

The city confirmed via Twitter that police arrested the suspected gunman two hours later in Lewis County after he fled the gathering of 15 to 20 people.

Go figure. More blood on the hands of the NRA and spineless GOP (with a few Dem enablers) Congress.

He targeted (and killed) his ex-girlfriend. Fired 20 bullets. In the end, it's the oldest reason for murder in the world: the wounded male ego.

Guns make everything worse. I don't know if he was drinking.
