Teen Murders Shake Communities in Washington and Texas

A 15-year-old boy in Washington state has been charged with the murder of his parents and three siblings, and attempted murder for shooting his 11-year-old sister, who survived by playing dead and later identified him as the shooter. The teen reportedly tried to blame the killings on his 13-year-old brother, whom he also shot, before calling 911 and staging the scene to appear as a suicide. The incident occurred at the family's home in Fall City, east of Seattle, shocking the community due to the family's previously 'perfect' public image. Prosecutors have charged him with multiple counts of first-degree murder, and he faces life imprisonment if tried as an adult. Meanwhile, in Texas, a 17-year-old is charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend's stepfather, highlighting concerns about violent behavior among teens.
