当局称，周二上午，一名男子在华盛顿州塔科马市西北一处住宅外刺死四人后，被一名治安官副手开枪击毙。
皮尔斯县治安官办公室在新闻发布会上表示，副手最初在当地时间周二上午约8:40接到报告，称一名32岁男子违反了禁接触令。他们获取了该禁令的副本，发现因未向嫌疑人送达而无效，随后前往现场向其出示该禁令。
塔科马警察局发言人谢尔比·博伊德警官在现场附近告诉记者：”这是一项禁令，但尚未完成最后的送达步骤，所以副手今天的意图是送达该禁令。”
在前往现场途中，治安官办公室接到更多报告称该男子正在住宅外刺人。第一名到达的副手在约三分钟内开枪击中嫌疑人，该嫌疑人在现场被宣布死亡。
治安官办公室称，三名刺伤受害者在现场被宣布死亡，第四名在送往医院途中死亡。
袭击发生在基半岛（Key Peninsula）的一条死胡同，位于吉格港（Gig Harbor）附近，距离西雅图约30英里西南方向。
警方未公布受害者姓名，博伊德表示，嫌疑人与受害者的关系尚不清楚。她无法确认受害者是否住在该住宅内，也无法证实是否有刺伤事件发生在住宅内部。
联邦调查局（FBI）在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时，将所有与调查相关的问题转交给了治安官办公室。
皮尔斯县法院记录显示，去年5月住在该地址的一名女子曾获得针对其32岁儿子的一年期保护令。她在申请书中称儿子有心理健康和药物滥用问题，曾对她进行推搡，最近还威胁她说”我的坟墓已经被挖好了”。
女子写道：”他威胁我，在精神和情感上虐待我。在我家中进行巫术/神秘主义行为和仪式，损坏个人财物，伤害我的猫…我是一名年迈的残疾妇女，他正利用我的健康状况对我进行侵害。”
记录显示，儿子在限制令签发前已收到听证会通知，但未出庭。保护令要求他不得持有危险武器；与母亲及其车辆和地址保持1000英尺距离（两人此前同住）；并遵守此前规定的心理健康治疗计划，包括服药。
目前尚不清楚为何袭击者此前未被送达保护令。在华盛顿州，通常申请人可要求执法部门送达，或聘请私人调查员或”送达员”执行。若无法确定限制令对象的位置，可能会延误送达。
住在距案发街道仅几分钟车程处的克里斯·卡德纳斯称，他当时正在车道上冲洗卡车，听到了枪声。
“突然，我听到一连串的枪声，”他说，”声音在树林中回荡得很明显。”
他表示，随后警笛声持续响了约40分钟。
“我立刻意识到出事了，因为我在这里从未听过枪声，”他说。
他走到警戒线内的现场，看到了救护车、法医车和数十辆警车，补充道：”我无法预想到这起新闻会如此悲惨。”
4 people fatally stabbed outside home near Seattle, suspect shot dead by deputy

A man fatally stabbed four people before being shot dead by a sheriff’s deputy outside a home northwest of Tacoma, Washington, on Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that deputies initially responded to reports made at around 8:40 a.m. local time Tuesday that a 32-year-old man was violating a no-contact order. They obtained a copy of the order, learned it was not valid because it had not been served on the suspect, and headed to the scene to provide it to him.
“It was an order, but it just hadn’t had that final step of being served yet, so the deputy’s intent was to serve that order today,” Officer Shelbie Boyd, a spokesperson for the Tacoma Police Department, told reporters near the scene.

While en route, additional reports came in that the man was stabbing people outside the home, the sheriff’s office said. The first deputy arrived within about three minutes and shot the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three of the stabbing victims were pronounced dead at the scene and a fourth died while being taken to a hospital, the sheriff’s office said.
The stabbings took place in a cul-de-sac on the Key Peninsula, located near Gig Harbor and about 30 miles southwest of Seattle.
No names were released, and Boyd told reporters that the relationship of the suspect to the victims was not immediately known. It was unclear if the four victims resided at the home, Boyd said. She could not confirm if any of the stabbings occurred inside the home itself.

When reached by CBS News, the FBI deferred all questions regarding the investigation to the sheriff’s office.
Pierce County court records show that a woman who lived at the address last May obtained a one-year protection order against her 32-year-old son. She wrote that he had mental health and substance abuse issues, had previously pushed her, and more recently had threatened her by saying that her “grave has been already dug up.”
The son had been “threatening me, abusing me both mentally and emotionally. Doing witchcraft/occult behavior and doing rituals in my home,” the woman wrote. “Damaging personal belongings. Hurting my cat…I am an elderly disabled woman and he is taking advantage of me and my health.”
The records show that the son had notice of a hearing before the issuance of the restraining order, but did not appear for it. The protective order required him not to possess dangerous weapons; to stay 1,000 feet from his mother, her vehicle and her address, which they had shared; and to comply with a previously prescribed mental health treatment plan, including medication.
It was not immediately clear why the attacker had not previously been served with the protection order. Typically in Washington state, someone who obtains such an order can request that law enforcement deliver it to the subject of the order or hire a private investigator or “process server” to do so. Not knowing the location of the subject of the restraining order can delay that.
Chris Cardenas, who lives just a couple minutes driving from the street where the stabbings occurred, said he was washing his truck in his driveway when he heard the gunfire.
“All of a sudden, I just heard like a series of gunshots,” he said. “You could really hear it echoing through the trees.”
Sirens then sounded nonstop for about 40 minutes, he said.
“I immediately knew something was up because I’ve never heard gunshots out here,” he said.
He went over to the cordoned-off scene and saw ambulances, a forensics bus and dozens of police vehicles, he said, adding that he couldn’t have braced himself “for how tragic the news would be.”
