AUBURN, Wash. — One man was killed and another is hospitalized after a deadly shooting early Monday morning at a home near Auburn.
The King County Sheriff's Office said the suspect broke into a home along the 30800 block of Military Road South just before 4 a.m. According to authorities, a man was killed, while another is recovering in the hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand.
The homeowner told authorities a fight broke out, but she does not know who shot the two men. Investigators do not have any information on a suspect as of Monday morning.
Major Crimes are investigating the deadly shooting.
Nearby residents told KING 5 the property has been an issue in the past. After the shooting on Monday, nearby resident Ronald Hendrickson said maybe now authorities can close the property down.
The address is known to local police, as a body was found in a burnt trailer on the same property in November 2022. At the time, the King County Sheriff's Office said it believed the victim was killed at the scene, and the fire was set afterward to destroy evidence. A propane tank inside the trailer burst during the fire, causing an explosion.
"We actually heard the explosion of the tank," Hendrickson said. "It woke us up."
