As the investigation continues, several sheriff's deputies have the road closed at the time of this reporting. The King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) is scheduled to hold a press conference at 9 a.m

“Residential investigators are currently investigating multiple victims,” KCSO Public Information Officer Mike Mellis told KOMO News. “This investigation is still at a very early stage, but it will affect many people.”

According to Mellis, Fall City is an area with a “generally low crime rate.”

Mellis told KING 5 this may be a domestic violence incident, but there is no ongoing threat to the community. The scene appears to be a “self-contained situation”.
