Federal Way Man Charged with Killing His Wife Inside Their Home
Court documents say the victim stayed on the line as a struggle and two gunshots were recorded, and prosecutors set bail at $5 million.
Clayton Gary Munson was charged with first-degree murder Monday for the October 28 killing of his wife, Ursula Munson, in their Federal Way home while she called 911 for help.
Ursula Munson called 911 at 8:21 a.m. October 28 to report her husband had a revolver, telling the dispatcher, "he's going to hear me" while attempting to lock herself in a bathroom.
The King County Medical Examiner found Ursula Munson died from two gunshot wounds to her head, while police discovered bloodstains on Munson's clothing and evidence of a forced bathroom door.
After fleeing the scene, Clayton Munson surrendered at a Des Moines Safeway later that day, telling staff he was "reporting information connected to a crime in Federal Way." He is held at the King County Correctional Facility on $5 million bail.
Following the charges filed by King County prosecutors, Clayton Munson is scheduled to be arraigned on November 12, with court proceedings expected to continue as the case advances.
