A 15-year-old boy is facing murder charges in the shooting deaths of five family members at his home east of Seattle.

The teen is accused of fatally shooting his parents, two brothers and his sister in their home in Fall City, Washington, according to court documents.

More than 24 hours after five people were found shot dead in a Washington state home, including three school-age children, the public awaits more details from authorities about what occurred – and why.
