GIG HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — Police were searching for clues Sunday at the Gig Harbor home where a sheriff’s deputy killed himself after fatally shooting his wife’s parents.
Tacoma Detective Gretchen Aguirre said Sunday police still don’t know why 49-year-old Pierce County Deputy Allen Myron shot his in-laws Friday night, barricaded himself in a bedroom and then shot himself after an hours-long police stand-off that ended early Saturday.
Family members identified the in-laws to media outlets as 70-year-old Monty Multanen and 68-year-old Susan Multanen.
Aguirre says the couple had been visiting Gig Harbor from southern Washington.
Monty Multanen was an educational director for the Oregon Department of Education, the Edmonds School District and Lower Columbia College. Susan Multanen once worked as a nurse.
