COVINGTON, Wash. — Deputies with the King County Sheriff's Department are investigating a fatal shooting at a house in Covington around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
The shooting occurred at a residence near the 25000 block of 180th Avenue SE, just north of Crestwood Elementary School.

After a search of the suspected shooter, deputies found the 32-year-old suspect dead in a bedroom with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Their identities have not been released.
