LAKE STEVENS, Wash. - Police say a murder-suicide was carried out right in front of a Snohomish County in-home day care Wednesday afternoon.

The shooting happened in a cul-de-sac in the 300 block of 119th Drive Southeast. At about 1:30 p.m., deputies say someone in the neighborhood called 911 to report an argument between a man and a woman.

Just as a responding deputy rounded the corner, the shots went off.

"She heard several gunshots and then she saw one person fall to the ground," said Snohomish County sheriff's spokesperson Rebecca Hover.

When the deputy pulled up in front of the home, she found a man and a woman dead.

Detectives believe the man was the shooter and that the woman lived in a nearby home.

None of the kids at the day care were hurt. An aid car drove them from the day care to their waiting parents.

"I'm just glad they're OK. They're safe. Nothing happened to them and I'm glad they're both in my hands now," said parent Junior Villalobos.
