Four innocents were killed in a mass stabbing at a Pierce County, Washington, home some time between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
FOX 9 reported that deputies were on their way to the home around 8:47 a.m. to “serve a no-contact order to the suspect” when calls began coming in about a stabbing.
KING 5 noted that “When deputies arrived, the suspect was still stabbing people.” A deputy intervened, fatally shooting the stabbing suspect at 9:33 a.m.
Three of the stabbing victims were pronounced dead at the scene and a fourth died after being transported to a hospital.
KOMO News described the horrific incident as a “a protection order violation near Gig Harbor that escalated into a stabbing in the street.”
Court documents linked to the address of the home where the mass stabbing occurred “show at least one petition for a protection order was filed by a mother against her adult son in April 2025 and granted the following month in May.”
The mother claimed the son had been threatening and harming her and “doing witchcraft/occult behavior and doing rituals in [her] home.”
