Gunman Is Identified in Slaying of 6 at Party
Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, is believed to be the man who fired a 12-gauge shotgun into a Seattle rave after-party Saturday morning, killing six people and injuring two others.
Huff moved to Seattle five years ago from Whitefish, Mont. Seattle police had not released Huff’s identity, but Montana’s Flathead County Sheriff’s Lt. Dave Leib said that after talking with authorities in Seattle, he informed Huff’s mother that her son was dead. Huff lived in an apartment with his twin brother.
The shooting suspect killed himself when confronted by a police officer.
Police spokesman Sean Whitcomb said that authorities found an assault rifle, multiple clips carrying 30 bullets each, a machete and several hundred more rounds of ammunition in the suspect’s truck.
