Arrests made in Seattle-area massacre

CARNATION, Wash., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Two people who knew the six family members massacred at a rural home outside Seattle have been arrested, local media reported Thursday.

King County sheriff's deputies announced Wednesday night they had arrested Joseph McEnroe and Michele Anderson, both 29, in the shootings Tuesday night and the discovery of the bodies Wednesday.

Anderson is reportedly the daughter of one of the victims, Wayne Anderson, 60. Neighbors and friends told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Anderson's wife Judy, the couple's son Scott, his wife Erica and their two children, ages 3 and 6, were killed in the home.

A member of the Anderson family told reporters after the arrests Michele Anderson had a long-running dispute with her parents over money, the newspaper said.

Late Wednesday, King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said someone inside the home called 911 during the shootings, but the caller hung up without saying anything. When deputies responded, they found the gate to the property locked, the Seattle Times said.

"From everything I'm hearing, it wouldn't have made a difference," Urquhart said.
