SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — A 9-year-old boy who was shot in the head is the second person to die in what authorities are calling a violent domestic dispute.

The boy was taken off life support and died Sunday afternoon, according to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.

The boy was shot during an attack at his mother’s home early Sunday. The mother, whose name has not yet been released by authorities, was shot to death and her 17-year-old son was attacked with a knife but treated and released from the hospital.

The dead boy’s twin brother, also in the house, was not harmed.
