APTOPIX Seattle Shooting

Police have arrested one suspect and were looking for another after gunfire erupted at a crowded food festival beneath Seattle’s Space Needle. The shooting around 6 p.m. Sunday at the annual Bite of Seattle festival left three people dead and four injured, including a toddler. Two people died at the scene and a third died at a hospital. Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis said during a news conference Sunday night that detectives did not have any description of the outstanding suspect. Investigators believe the two were shooting at each other and there is no ongoing threat to the public. The Seattle Fire Department says the four wounded, including a 2-year-old boy, were hospitalized and in stable condition.

Police say there were at least three suspects involved in a food festival shooting near Seattle’s Space Needle over the weekend, and that one of them was among those killed in the violence. Police say they believe there were at least three shooters: a 15-year-old arrested in the case; a 19-year-old acquaintance who died at the scene; and at least one other “unknown suspect.” The 15-year-old waived his initial court appearance Monday. The gunfire erupted around 6 p.m. Sunday during the Bite of Seattle festival. Police say the shooting may have been gang-related, with two groups firing at each other.
