Four dead of a knife attack in Washington, the author is shot by police

The Sheriff's office in Pierce County announced that around 8:40 a.m., the person was breaking a contact order at a residence in Kay Peninsula, northwest of Tacoma.

After verification, the effectives found that the order was not valid because it had not been officially handed over to the 32-year-old and had started to communicate.

At around 0930, while patrols were still en route, new reports arrived that the suspect was stabning people outside the apartment.

The first officer arrived within three minutes and opened fire on the suspected author, who was declared dead in the country.

According to the spokeswoman for the task force at Pierce County, three of the victims lost their lives at the scene, while a fourth passed away during the hospital transport.

County judicial documents show that in May of last year, a woman who lived at that address had provided a 1-year-old defense order against her 32-year-old son.

She claimed that he suffered from mental health problems and substance abuse.

The woman, who describes herself as old and disabled, also claimed that her son threatened and abused her psychologically, damaged his belongings and injured her cat.

According to the data, the 32-year-old was announced at a hearing regarding the ban order, but had not been submitted.

The order forbade her to possess dangerous weapons, forced her to stay at least 305m from her mother, her vehicle and residence that had previously been shared together, and applied a plan to treat her mental health, including her taking medication.

Authorities said it remains unclear why the defence order had not been delivered to the suspects earlier.

In Washington, the person who provides such an order may require that he be handed over by the law forces or by a relevant private service; the lack of information on the subject's whereabouts could cause delays.
