AUBURN — Authorities are investigating a shooting in Auburn that left three people dead.

One of those killed was a child.

The Seattle Times reports officers received reports of gunshots from a home around 6:53 p.m. Tuesday.

Kolby Crossley, public information officer with the Auburn Police Department, said responding officers found a man, woman and child dead at the residence. Another child was able to make it out of the home and call 911.

Valley Regional Fire Authority and King County Medic units also responded, the fire authority said in a Twitter post at 7:03 p.m.

While investigators are considering all possibilities, it was too early to determine whether the shooting was a murder-suicide, Crossley said.

He said police were not seeking any suspects.
