11-year-old who survived massacre by suspected teen killer at posh Washington home released from hospital

The 11-year-old girl who survived a massacre at a posh Washington mansion has been released from hospital – two days after her teenage brother allegedly shot and killed her parents and their three children.

The lone survivor, who was shot twice during the horrific massacre, was released Wednesday from Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to USA Today.

Mark and Sarah Humiston, along with the bodies of three of their four children, were found riddled with bullet holes in the family’s $2 million home in Fall City – a suburb of Seattle – around 5 a.m. Monday , reported King 5.

The couple’s 15-year-old son is accused of carrying out the rampage, during which he also targeted his 11-year-old sister, who ran away from home and was taken to hospital after receiving medical help from a neighbor.

“This hits me very hard,” said Pastor Carrie Bland, who held a candlelight vigil at the Fall City Methodist Church Tuesday evening, KOMO News reported.

“I think not only about the loss of the children, but also the parents and the impact that that has, it’s a ripple effect through the community because each person affects multiple people.”

Rhea Robertson, a soccer coach who mentored one of the victims, said the Humistons were devoted and loyal parents who, from the outside, “looked perfect,” the outlet reported.

Humiston was a longtime software engineer at Hargis Engineers in Seattle, and his wife was reportedly a registered nurse, although it is unclear whether she was still practicing.

“We are blindsided and saddened by the tragic events that led to the loss of a respected colleague, mentor and friend, as well as the loss of immediate family members,” Hargis Engineers said in a statement to King 5 .

“Mark’s leadership and vision were an integral part of our firm and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his surviving family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.

Deputies went to the Lake Alice Road home – a stunning waterfront property – after receiving several 911 calls about a “disturbance with shots fired” and found the bodies of both parents and their three children, according to King County sheriff’s spokesman Mike Mellis.

Some of the 911 calls came from victims who were inside the home and hiding in the bathroom, KIRO 7 reported.

Officers immediately arrested the juvenile after he arrived at the family’s home, with Mellis explaining that the shooting appeared to be a “domestic violence” incident.

“Once the bodies were discovered, we clearly understand that this is an extremely important crime scene,” Mellis said.

Prosecutors asked the court Tuesday to charge the teen — who was not identified because of his age — with five counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

Judge Joe Campagna ordered the alleged killer to remain in secure juvenile detention while awaiting formal charges, calling the allegations “of the gravest possible severity,” The Seattle Times reported.

Campagna also prohibited any contact with his only surviving family member, the 11-year-old girl, prosecutors said.

The teen, who waived his right to attend his first appearance in King County Superior Court, was described by defense attorney Amy Parker as a young boy who “likes to ride mountain bikes and fish.”

She also noted that her client had no criminal history.

Prosecutors are expected to file formal charges against the teen — who remains incarcerated in King County juvenile detention — on Thursday.
