Police: Deputy shoots in-laws, later found dead

Police commando team members reported that 49-year-old Allen Myron was found dead after they entered the house more than six hours after the standoff began, Tacoma police Detective Gretchen Aguirre said.
She said that she didn't know how the Pierce County deputy died or what prompted the police team to enter the home when it did.
Two of Myron's children had been trapped in the house but managed to safely leave during the early part of the siege.
It also wasn't immediate clear what touched off the violence, but the mother-in-law called the police emergency dispatcher at 6:48 p.m. Friday, then crawled out of the house and into nearby woods, Tacoma's News Tribune reported. She had been wounded and died after being flown by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Police negotiators rushed to the scene, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Seattle, along with the commando team and other law enforcement personnel.
Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said the body of the father-in-law was in the house. Police did not provide information on the whereabouts of the Myron's wife.
Myron, an 11-year sheriff's department veteran, had been on medical light duty for a year-and-a-half and was cleared to come back to work three months ago, Troyer said, adding he did not have more details.
The house is located in a quiet, wooded neighborhood near the entrance to Kopachuck State Park.
