BONNEY LAKE, Wash. (AP) — A man stabbed his parents to death Sunday at a home in Washington state, police said.

A neighbor told officers he heard screaming and saw a man down in the street in Bonney Lake and the man’s son standing near him covered in blood, according to the Pierce County sheriff’s office.
