Gun Fight at Crowded Seattle Festival Kills 3 & Wounds 4, Including Toddler
Seattle Police are still looking for a "young person" at large.
Just hours ago, a mass shooting in at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington has left three people dead and four wounded, including a toddler.
Two victims were killed on scene, according to the Seattle Police Department. A third was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where they passed.
The Seattle Police Department believes that two people were shooting at each other. One person was taken into custody, but their identity has not been disclosed as of yet. A second person remains at large.
Chief Tyrone Davis stated at a news conference late Sunday night that the suspect is a “young person” and does not post a threat to the public. “Young person” is probably code for negro.
Around 6 p.m., a barrage of gunshots could be heard at Seattle Center, which was hosting thousands of people for the Bite of Seattle food festival this weekend.
A Seattle Times reporter who was on the south side of Climate Pledge Arena heard several loud pops and then what sounded like very rapid gunfire.
Chief Davis said there were no cameras that captured the shooting and that investigators are working to locate and speak with witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department’s tip line: 206-233-5000.
