Whatcom Double Homicide: Man, Baby Dead, Woman Shot

Whatcom County, WA:   The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 9-1-1 call from a Real Estate agent at 5056  Noon Road today in Whatcom County.  The agent was reportedly at the home for an open house.

 

The Real Estate agent  found a man and child under 2 years old, dead on a bed  with a gun laying next to them and a woman laying on the floor with a gun shot wound to her left chest. Officers on scene stated the woman had been there for  “about three days.” She was still alive and transported to the hospital. Her condition is unknown but she is expected to survive.

A  Search of homes for sale on Noon Road in Whatcom County pulled up the address of 5056 Noon Road. The home has been on the market for 26 days and was built in 1992. It is listed as  a 2,084 square foot,  3 bedroom, 2.75 bath home on 4.77 acres. It is listed for sale for $396,000.

The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office has  responded to that same address for a woman with mental health  issues recently. In April of this year, the woman’s husband told officers that his wife was extremely paranoid and was  having thoughts that her cell phone was being tapped  and her ID was being stolen. The outcome of those mental health  issues are unknown at this time.

The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office believes the man and child died at the hands of the woman with the gunshot wound to her chest.  They said it appears to be a domestic violence situation and are calling the two deaths a double homicide.

According to media reports the woman has admitted to officers that  she shot the man, whom she called her husband.

A dog that was in the home was picked up by the Whatcom County Humane Society.
