Oct. 21, 2024

King County Councilmember Sarah Perry issued the following statement after the tragic mass shooting in Fall City that took five lives Monday morning:

“Early this morning, we learned about a terrible situation in the Lake Alice neighborhood of Fall City, in which five family members, out of seven, were tragically killed.  

“At this time, I ask you to join me in holding all family members, the community members of Lake Alice and Fall City, and others impacted by this terrible situation, in your heart with prayers of peace and healing. 

“While this is an active investigation and there is much we still don’t know, or that I can comment on, what I am able to share is that the two youth who survived are safe, that a local family member has stepped forward to assume custody of them, and that the community at large is not in danger.  

“My heart aches for the lives lost and all who are struggling to make sense of this loss right now. Please do reach out to a counselor, your faith leader, or call 988, if you or your friends or family members could benefit from someone to speak with at this time.  

“I am committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all our neighbors and share my love in this very difficult moment for our community.”
