The suspect was later shot and killed by a Pierce County sheriff\u2019s deputy.<\/p>\n<p>The attack unfolded on Tuesday morning. Deputies from the Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s Office were dispatched at about 8:41am local time (16:41 GMT) following reports that the suspect had violated a no-contact order, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>Officers obtained a copy of the no-contact order, but found it was not yet valid because it had not been served against the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>They left to deliver the order in person. But while officers were in transit, the 32-year-old allegedly began stabbing people outside the residence, which is located in a cul-de-sac.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple witnesses reported seeing the attack at approximately 9:30am (17:30 GMT). It took about three minutes for the first deputy to arrive, and shots were fired at 9:33am (17:33 GMT), according to a video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z-31GPTT4o8&amp;t=54s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> released by local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the stabbing victims died at the location, while a fourth was rushed to a hospital. That person later succumbed to their injuries, according to Officer Shelbie Boyd, a spokesperson for the Pierce County Force Investigation Team.<\/p>\n<p>The Pierce County Force Investigation Team is leading an ongoing probe into the deputy-involved shooting and the stabbings.<\/p>\n<p>But The Associated Press reported that the residence where the stabbing took place appeared to belong to a woman who filed for a one-year protection order against her son.<\/p>\n<p>She alleged that her son had made threatening remarks and suffered from mental health and substance abuse issues.<\/p>\n<p>Court records show she accused him of \u201cabusing me both mentally and emotionally\u201d, \u201cdamaging personal belongings\u201d and \u201churting my cat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect\u2019s identity and those of the victims have yet to be confirmed publicly.<\/p>\n<p>The records reviewed by The Associated Press indicate that the woman\u2019s 32-year-old son had received a notice about a hearing for the restraining order, but he did not show up to the proceeding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 32-year-old suspect stabbed four people to death before being shot by a sheriff\u2019s deputy near Tacoma, Washington.
