Five people died late Sunday in shootings at an apartment complex near Seattle, including one man shot by police, authorities said.

When officers arrived at the scene in Federal Way, Washington, just south of Seattle, they could still hear gunfire, said police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock. They also saw two men lying wounded in a parking lot.

Police attempted to rescue the injured men, but one of them reached for a gun, and the officers opened fire, killing him. The second wounded man also died, Schrock told CNN affiliate KOMO.

Police then found a third body in the parking lot, as well as two more corpses inside the complex -- one man and one woman, who were in separate apartments. All of the dead were killed by gunfire, Schrock said.

No officers were injured.

Police do not know what triggered the shooting, which Schrock said was a gun battle involving the four men who died.

【新闻快讯】

根据美国媒体报道,美国华盛顿州西雅图当地时间21日晚发生一起公寓楼枪击事件,造成5人死亡。

费多威镇警方发言人施罗克表示,枪击事件发生在西雅图市南部的一栋公寓楼,警方于当地时间21日晚上9点30分左右赶到现场。到达现场的警察看到两名受伤男子躺在车库的地上,并不时有交火,当警察试图走进停车场帮助他们时,其中一人伸手拿枪。警察随即开枪。这名男子最终死亡,但不清楚是不是被警方开枪打死的。

警察进入后,在车库内共发现3具男性尸体。在搜索公寓楼时,警方在两间公寓房间内分别发现一具男性和一具女性尸体。警方正在确认受害女子是否为意外中弹死亡。

目前,该枪击事件的原因尚不清楚。但警方认为不存在逃逸的枪手,事件不会对公众安全造成进一步威胁。
