Charging documents say McCartney was responded to a break-in Sunday at a mobile home southeast of Tacoma. Shortly after arriving, he made a “shots fired” call. Deputies found McCartney with a fatal gunshot wound.
Also killed was suspect Henry Carden, who authorities say shot himself in the head.
It’s not clear if Pawul or Troyer have attorneys.
