FALL CITY, Wash. - King County deputies are investigating an incident that left several people dead near Fall City on Monday morning.

Deputies responded to multiple reports of a disturbance with possible gunfire involved at a home off Lake Alice Road Southeast before 5 a.m.

King County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Mellis told FOX 13 Seattle when deputies arrived, they found a "tragic scene."

Five people, two adults and three juveniles, were found dead at the residence. Officers contacted a teenage boy at the home and took him into custody.

Before deputies got to the scene, one of the neighbors was providing aid to one of the victims, a girl, who was later taken to Harborview Medical Center for further treatment. Medical officials say she is in "satisfactory condition."

"I'm saddened. I'm very, very sad," King Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall said during a news conference while describing the scene. "Very, very sad, very disturbed.
