NORTH BEND, Wash. (AP) — The King County sheriff’s office now has an arrest warrant for a North Bend, Wash., man sought in the weekend shooting deaths of his wife and daughter.

Court documents filed Wednesday say Peter A. Keller is sought on two counts of first-degree murder and first-degree arson.

The bodies of Keller’s wife and 18-year-old daughter were found Sunday by firefighters responding to a fire at the family’s home in east King County.

Fire crews also found seven gasoline cans inside the home.

The sheriff’s office says Keller has not been seen since before the fire.
