Police in Washington State say five people are dead after a shooting at an apartment complex in Seattle.

Armed police officers responded to an emergency call in Federal Way after shots were fired.

A man died after opening fire as emergency services tried to help him.

The bodies of three other men and a woman were found shortly afterwards.

Police carried out searches of the area, and said afterwards they did not think another shooter was on the loose.

It is not clear yet what set off the shooting, and police are trying to determine if the woman was accidentally hit by gunfire.
