Man who stabbed four to death in Washington state had history of mental health issues
"The order noted that he struggled from substance abuse, and had threatened his mother saying that her grave has been already dug up. The records show that the mother told officials that her son had been threatening me, abusing me both mentally and emotionally. Doing witchcraft/occult behavior and doing rituals in my home. Damaging personal belongings. Hurting my cat."
"In the petition to Pierce county superior court last April, the woman said that her son was delusional and saw himself as an Egyptian god. She had returned home to find her cat missing and pictures that had been hanging on the wall destroyed. The court granted a protection order requiring him to leave his mother's house where he had been living and to keep 1,000ft from the property."
"The man, 32, was shot dead by a deputy from the Pierce county sheriff's office as he arrived to serve the protection notice on the individual. Reports of stabbing were made at about 9.30am and the man, who has not yet been identified, was killed at about 9.33am."
A 32-year-old man shot and killed by a Pierce County sheriff's deputy had a documented history of mental health crises, substance abuse, and domestic violence spanning at least five years. His mother had obtained multiple protection orders against him since December 2020, documenting threats, emotional abuse, and erratic behavior including claims he believed himself to be an Egyptian god. A court-ordered protection order in April required him to vacate his mother's home, maintain 1,000 feet distance, surrender weapons, and comply with mental health treatment. On Tuesday morning, the man fatally stabbed four people outside his mother's residence. A deputy arrived to serve the protection notice and shot him approximately three minutes after stabbing reports were made.
