A 12-year old girl managed to escape the bloodbath without being shot, and was escorted from the premises by paramedics during the police negotiations with Campbell. The girl was not shot, but it was unknown if she had other injuries.

A gunman killed four people in a home in rural Washington before fatally shooting himself after an hours-long standoff, authorities said today.

Chief Deputy Robert Spurling of the Mason County Sheriff's Office told VICE News that a deputy had previously given a business card to Campbell, which is how he was able to place a call directly to a specific law enforcement officer.
