An 11-year-old in Washington state fled home in the early morning hours to escape a shooting that left her bloodied and wounded, and killed her entire family. For days this week, authorities have been investigating the gruesome, fatal shootings of five people in Fall City, Washington. Now, the girl’s account, detailed in court documents, is giving a first glimpse into what unfolded. The 11-year-old recalled waking up Monday to the sound of gunshots. When she looked outside her bedroom door, she saw her father, Mark Humiston, with blood on his head and her 9-year-old brother with blood in his mouth – both laying on the floor of the hallway, according to court documents. When her 7-year-old sister walked out of their shared bedroom, the 11-year-old said she heard another gunshot, before seeing her younger sister fall to the floor, the documents say. She told investigators the shooter then came to her bedroom and fired his weapon once or twice, hitting her hand and neck. Despite the pain she felt from the bullet’s impact, the 11-year-old told authorities she recognized the weapon. It was her father’s silver Glock handgun, court documents say.
