News summary

Andrew Humiston, a 15-year-old from Fall City, Washington, has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder after allegedly killing his parents and three siblings. Prosecutors claim that Humiston staged the scene to make it appear that his 13-year-old brother had committed a murder-suicide, after calling 911 and blaming the crime on him. However, his 11-year-old sister, who survived by playing dead, informed authorities that Andrew was the actual perpetrator, using their father's Glock handgun, for which he alone knew the lockbox combination. The surviving sister reported that Andrew had been troubled by academic failures, which might have contributed to the crime. The juvenile court case may be moved to adult court, given the severity of the charges. The tragic incident took place in the family's $2 million home, a factor that underscores the shocking nature of the case in one of the country's affluent neighborhoods.
