(CNN) — A Seattle-area woman and her boyfriend admitted fatally shooting six members of her family, including two children, on Christmas Eve, according to police reports in the case. Michele Anderson and her boyfriend Joe McEnroe, both 29, were arrested Wednesday after bodies of the six were found in Carnation, Wash., about 20 miles east of Seattle in unincorporated King County. Police said it appeared all of the victims were shot on Monday. They were identified as Wayne and Judith Anderson, Michele Anderson’s parents; and her brother, Scott Anderson, his wife Erika and the couple’s two children — Olivia, 6, and Nathan, 3, according to affidavits released in the case by the King County Sheriff’s Office. The motives for the shooting remained unknown, as it was not included in the affidavits. However, McEnroe told authorities he and Anderson planned to kill her parents when they arrived at their home Christmas Eve — about 200 yards away from the trailer where the couple lived. |
