A shooting at the Bite of Seattle food festival near the city's Space Needle has left three people dead and four others wounded, including a two-year-old boy. The deceased have been identified as two men, ages 19 and 44, and a 56-year-old woman. Those wounded are reported to be in stable condition.
Authorities believe the incident was the result of an exchange of gunfire between two individuals. One suspect has been arrested, whom a center-right source identifies as a 15-year-old minor, while police continue to search for a second suspect. Assistant Seattle Police Chief Tyrone Davis stated that there is no ongoing threat to the public, though a description of the outstanding suspect was not immediately available.
The gunfire occurred around 6 p.m. on Sunday during the final hours of the annual three-day event. Witnesses described scenes of panic as attendees and vendors fled toward exits and sought shelter in nearby buildings, such as the Seattle Children's Museum. While most reports focus on the crossfire between two suspects, a center source noted that the shootout may have been gang-related.
