A Washington state father killed his adult daughter and left his son fighting for life after shooting them both in the head as they slept ‘to get rid of their demons.’
Michael League, 69, shot Danielle Faucett, 43, and Dennis League, 46, at around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday morning at his house in Puyallup, while his grandchildren slept just feet away.
He father then called 911 and confessed to shooting his children before threatening to take his own life.

On the heart-breaking call, League said, crying: ‘I just committed a father’s worst sin. I just shot my daughter in the head and my son in the head. I had to put them out of their misery and get rid of their demons. I’m going to have to shoot myself.’

He went on to tell the dispatcher that drugs had plagued his family.
‘It’s all because of alcohol and drugs. It tore our family apart,’ he said on the call.
League explained that he and his wife went away for a few days and when they returned, they found their daughter allegedly tried to attack her brother with a knife.

‘My wife was about to have a nervous breakdown,’ he said. ‘I want to die.’
Deputy Chief Dave McDonald said officers rushed to the scene and surrounded the home while dispatchers talked the man into putting his gun down. He then surrendered moments later and police took him into custody.
Officers entered the home and found two gravely wounded victims in different rooms of the house, one upstairs and one downstairs.
Both suffered gunshots to the head and appear to have been shot in their sleep, McDonald said.
The victims were rushed by Central Pierce Fire & Rescue medics to Tacoma General Hospital, where Faucett died of her injuries within hours of the shooting and her brother remains fighting for his life. He is not expected to survive.
