4. There is probably a practical explanation that is not provided in that short report.

Purdy isn't THAT rural - but Pierce County is huge and there is a giant traffic-choked bridge between Tacoma and Purdy.

Here's another report, from King 5

A 32 year old man stabbed his Mother and her neighbors. He was psychotic.

I'm not going to put this on the Sheriff's slow response. The Mom and the 2 neighbors were probably dead within minutes, maybe before the 1st 911 call.
