FORKS, Wash. (AP) — A man and a woman found dead in a home in the Olympic Peninsula community of Forks have been identified as James and Brenda Grant.
Clallam County sheriff’s Detective Lyman Moores says investigators believe Grant shot his wife and then himself.
Police responded to the home at about 6 a.m. Monday when a friend of James Grant called 911 after receiving a text message from the man. According to investigators, the message said, “You’ll hate me. Please take the two kids and raise them right.”
A 10-year-old boy and a younger girl ran unhurt from the house about 11 a.m. as Washington State Patrol SWAT officers prepared to enter.
