Authorities on Sunday identified Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, as the man suspected of killing six young people at a house party before he turned the gun on himself Saturday morning.

SEATTLE - A man suspected of killing six young people at a house party before turning the gun on himself lived with his twin brother in a North Seattle apartment and was described by apartment managers as very respectful.

The man, Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, committed suicide Saturday morning after firing repeatedly on young men and women who had invited him to an after-party following a "zombie rave" in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Police arrived at the Town and Country Apartments on Roosevelt Way around 5 p.m. according to the complex's manager. Manager Regina Gray said the apartment searched was shared by twins Kyle and Kane Huff, who have lived in the complex for about the last four years.

Gray said Kane Huff arrived home as the police search was under way and did not seem to know what to make of the massive police presence or search of his apartment. He taken away in handcuffs.

Sources told KING 5 that ammunition and at least three rifles were seized from inside

At a news conference Sunday afternoon, Police spokesman Sean Whitcomb declined to name the supect, but said he appeared poised to inflict a lot of harm on a lot of people.

Whitcomb said that in the suspects car, police found a semi-automatic rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition, including shotgun ammunition and banana clips of rifle ammunition, plus a machete.

“We believe that this particular suspect is an extremely dangerous person. He carried with him into this house two bandoliers full of ammunition and pockets full of ammunition.”

Both Gray and the assistant manager of the Town and Country Apartments said the either Huff's involvement in such a shooting was hard to imagine.

"Our nickname for them was the Teddy Bear twins," Gray said.

"This would have been so far out of character," said Jim Pickett, the assistant manager apartments.

Pickett described the brothers as "very polite. Very respectful. 'Yessir. Yes ma'am. Can I help ya. How am I doing today?' ... You don't find two boys as respectful as these two always were."

Police searched the twin's apartment Saturday night. Pickett said he saw them remove three rifles from the apartment.

The gunman was armed with a 12-gauge pistol-grip shotgun, a handgun and was wearing bandoliers of shells for the shotgun and carrying additional clips for the handgun. In his truck, police found an assault rife and multiple "banana clips" carrying 30 bullets each.

Pickett said he never saw either of the brothers with weapons, but he added that they grew up in Montana, where hunting with rifles is common practice.

Police spokesman Sean Whitcomb confirmed that a search warrant was served Saturday evening at an address on Roosevelt Way. One person was questioned, but no one was arrested, Whitcomb said.

"There is no additional information that will be released regarding the search warrant today," Whitcomb said Sunday.

He said police were still working on a motive.

"We do believe we have the suspect identified. We are not releasing that identity because we are not 100 percent centain," Whitcomb said.

Pickett said he saw the suspected gunman's brother as police were conducting the search.

"He gave a look to me like 'I don't know what's going on,"' Pickett said.

This November 2000 booking photo released by the Flathead County Sheriff's Office in Montana on Sunday March 26, 2006 shows Aaron Kyle Huff. Authorities on Sunday identified Aaron Kyle Huff, 28, as the man suspected of killing six young people at a house party before he turned the gun on himself Saturday morning.

Pickett described the brothers as private and good tenants. One of the brothers played drums, but was very careful not to disturb neighbors.

"He was really getting pretty good. He would practice at a respectful hour between 4 and 6 and would stop at 6."

Flathead County, Montana Sheriff's Office told KING 5 News that Kyle Huff had been arrested in 2000 for criminal mischief after blowing up a statue of a moose with a shotgun. Police said at the time they believed it was more of a prank.

Four young men and two young women were killed, and two people were hospitalized after the shooting Saturday morning. The victims were among about 20 young party-goers who had just attended a rave the night before.

Police said they invited the gunman to the after-party at rental home in a residential neighborhood. He left the party at about 7 a.m. and came back with weapons.

Harborview Medical Center reported the two injured were in serious condition Sunday morning.
