    This is so horrible. Prayers to all the families who lost their kids tonight. This is one of those times I’m glad I know where my kids are.

      D – no names are public currently. Those would have to come from the Medical Examiner, and I doubt that’ll happen before Tuesday – unless family members come forward to share information.

    Luis Martinez and Lucie Hernandez were the two victims killed. The girl was between 13 and 16 yrs old. I have kids,this just makes me sick.

    Very sad about this. I coached one of these boys, with one of my sons, for several years in West Seattle Soccer and knew one of the others. Very very sad day.

    Lucie Hernandez went to my school, we were in the same grade. she was a sweet girl. she always had a smile on her face and was nice to everybody. There may be no point to this but to let people know how precious life is.
